“…The Dor plasty restores the circular ventricular architecture by excluding the antero-septal scar, reduces the cavity to restore wall tension toward normal by means of the Laplace relationship, and thereby improves hemodynamic status. In our patient, the left ventricular ejection fraction recovered completely [5]. Dacron patch in place of the aneurysm using single pledgeted sutures and a 4-0 prolene circumferential suture.…”

We report an 82-year male with a left ventricular a left-ventricular aneurysm via a left-thoracic thoracotomy as re-do. The patient received a supracommissural replacement of the aorta as well as a mitral valve repair half a year before the reoperation. He was diagnosed with an apical left ventricular aneurysm six months after the first operation and was re-administered to our clinic. He received a minimally invasive treatment of the left-ventricular aneurysm via a left-thoracic thoracotomy as re-op.

“…It is this rapid enlargement that may explain the high risk for rupture of aneurysms once they develop and provides support for the current recommendation for surgical repair of these defects (2,3).…”

“…Trauma, both penetrating and blunt, accounts for up to 7% of cases (2,3). Blunt chest trauma may cause myocardial damage by a number of means including the direct effect of the impact on the myocardium, and by compression, thrombosis, spasm or dissection of the coronary arteries (4).…”

“…However, two factors have to be taken into account when deciding whether routine surgical repair of a pseudoaneurysm should be undertaken. One factor is that the postoperative mortality after surgical repair of a pseudoaneurysm ranges from 13% to 29% and may be even higher in many hospitals due to a lack of experience (6)(7)(8). Another factor is the risk of fatal rupture with conservative treatment.…”
