“…Previous studies showed that Teflon and bovine pericardium are associated with predominantly mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate (monocytes and macrophages) in the adjacent tissue and induction of a graft-versus-host immunological response. These formations constitute an active source of cytokines (interleukins and tumor necrosis factor), which trigger and sustain inflammatory processes induced by foreign substances in the organism over the long-term [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…The surgical technique can also be considered a variant of the one proposed by Gomes et al. [ 7 , 8 ] that also reported the unnecessary use of synthetic materials. This technique, with the elimination of prosthetic materials, virtually eliminates left ventricle akinetic areas and potentially attenuates chronic inflammatory reaction.…”

“…The aim of this paper is to present an option of "no-patch" variant technique to treat left ventricular aneurysms, without arguing whether there is a significant difference from others' techniques or that it is measurably better. The proposed variant technique was previously published [ 6 ] , emphasizing that Gomes et al [ 7 , 8 ] reported a variant technique that eliminates the use of synthetic materials for left ventricle reconstruction.…”

ObjectiveTo present a surgical variant technique to repair left ventricular aneurysms.MethodsAfter anesthesia, cardiopulmonary bypass, and myocardial protection with hyperkalemic tepic blood cardioplegia: 1) The left ventricle is opened through the infarct and an endocardial encircling suture is placed at the transitional zone between the scarred and normal tissue; 2) Next, the scar tissue is circumferentially plicated with deep stitches using the same suture thread, taking care to eliminate the entire septal scar; 3) Then, a second encircling suture is placed, completing the occlusion of the aneurysm, and; 4) Finally, the remaining scar tissue is oversewn with an invaginating suture, to ensure hemostasis. Myocardium revascularization is performed after correction of the left ventricle aneurysm. The same surgeon performed all the operations.ResultsRegarding the post-surgical outcome 4 patients (40%) had surgery 8 eight years ago, 2 patients (20%) were operated on over 6 years ago, and 1 patient (10%) was operated on more than 5 years ago. Three patients (30%) were in functional class I, class II in 2 patients (20%) and 2 patients (20%) with severe comorbidities remains in class III of the NYHA. There were three deaths (at four days, 15 days and eight months) in septuagenarians with acute myocardial infarction, diabetes and pulmonary emphysema.ConclusionThe technique is easy to perform, safe and it can be an option for the correction of left ventricle aneurysms.
