Transaneurysmal Repair of a Giant Calcified Submitral Left Ventricular Aneurysm

Abstract

Submitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare cardiac pathology with very few cases reported in the literature. These are nonischemic aneurysms mostly reported from Africa. Patients with submitral aneurysm exhibit varied clinical manifestations. We report a case of calcified submitral aneurysm and its successful surgical management through a transaneurysmal approach.

Ruptured Sub-Annular Mitral Aneurysm in the Pericardium: Report of a Case

“…Several authors have not used CT or MRI scans [1] [4] [9] [15] as they are not essential for diagnosis.

Management involves initial medical stabilisation with diuretics and afterload reducing agents.…”

Aneurisma subvalvar mitral: actualizando lo que sabemos en el jubileo de diamante de la enfermedad

“…Los primeros reportes de la enfermedad fueron por rayos X y ventriculografía, los hallazgos incluían cardiomegalia, aumento de la silueta cardiaca, opacificación del aneurisma por el contraste, definición del cuello o istmo, y la presencia de calcificaciones en la pared o en el anillo de entrada 7,12 (Figuras 1 y 2).…”
