Annular Subvalvular Left Ventricular Aneurysms in the South African Bantu

Abstract: The clinical, radiologic, morbid anatomic, and histologic features of six cases of annular subvalvular left ventricular aneurysms occurring in African subjects are described. The problems of surgical repair are emphasized and the possibilities of antemortem diagnosis discussed.

“…Other rare locations include the inferoseptal, anterolateral, posterolateral and posterobasal wall or multiple locations. Older publications documented submitral aneurysms to occur almost exclusively in black African patients [3,4,5]. According to more recent publications, Caucasian patients are affected as well [6].…”

“…The origin of submitral aneurysms as a peculiar form of congenital left ventricular aneurysms is unknown and judged controversially. A congenital origin has been postulated [3, 17], other authors suggest a defect in the muscular fibrous junction below the intermediate portion of the posterior mitral leaflet leading to a hematoma in the epicardium [3, 5]. Organization of this hematoma may result in a fibrous-walled epicardial aneurysm that may expand under the influence of the high pressure within the left ventricle.…”

“…2014; 27(2): 105-108 termo ¨aneurisma ventricular esquerdo sub-valvular anular¨ devido à sua localização imediatamente em baixo das válvulas mitral e aórtica, e se estendendo ao redor e na substância do anel fibroso onde estas se formam. Posteriormente, Chesler et al 3 em 1965 descreveram outros 6 casos de similares características, sugerindo fraqueza da parede ventricular esquerda na região do sulco atrioventricular, com herniação do endocárdio pela influência das pressões ventriculares, e resultando na formação de um aneurisma de parede fibrosa com depósitos de trombos e cálcio nas suas paredes, em ocasiões com adesão ao pericárdio adjacente.…”

“…Unter Berücksichtigung der Literatur, die Angaben zur genauen Lokalisation der Aneurysmata und Divertikel macht, sind die häufigsten Lokalisationen der linksventrikuläre Apex mit 57% sowie inferior mit 27%. Ältere Untersuchungen gingen von einem nahezu ausschließlichen Vorkommen der submitralen Aneurysmata bei schwarzen Afrikanern aus [1][2][3][4]. Dies lässt sich aber anhand der aktuell verfügbaren Literatur nicht belegen, da sich auch bei europäischen Patienten häufig submitrale Aneurysmata finden.…”
