Ventricular aneurysmectomy for recurrent tachycardia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular aneurysm is a well-documented complication of myocardial infarction. The usual indications for surgical removal of an aneurysm include congestive cardiac failure or thrombo-embolic episodes refractory to medical treatment. In a review of the published reports we could find no report of any aneurysm being removed for the control of arrhythmias. We wish to report a case of a patient with recurrent refractory tachycardias which were eventually controlled by the surgical removal of the aneurysm.

Body surface detection of delayed depolarizations in patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular aneurysm.
In eight patients with chronic ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular aneurysms, we detected delayed ECG wave forms after the QRS complex from the body surface using a high-resolution ECG recorder, amplification and signal averaging. Delayed wave-form activity (D wave) extended a mean of 70 msec beyond the termination of th QRS complex. This delayed activity frequently extended to the lim...
متن کاملEndocardial excision: a new surgical technique for the treatment of recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
Twelve patients with medically refractory ventricular tachycardia secondary to ischemic heart disease underwent surgery for cure of their arrhythmia. Preoperatively, the tachycardia could be reproducibly initiated and terminated in each patient by programmed stimulation. In all instances, intraoperative mapping localized the tachycardia to the border of the aneurysm, a site not routinely resect...
متن کاملRecurrent ventricular tachycardia associated with anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in a child managed by revascularisation and map-guided endocardial resection.
A 13 year old girl with recurrent ventricular tachycardia that occurred in association with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is described. Such an arrhythmia has not been described before. Ligation of the anomalous left coronary artery led to more frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia with evidence of myocardial ischaemia. She was successfully manage...
متن کاملAn unusual complication of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: hemoptysis.
Left ventricular aneurysm is a common sequela of anterior myocardial infarction. At the time of coronary artery bypass grafting, resection of this aneurysm is frequently undertaken to alleviate symptoms of heart failure and/or refractory ventricular tachycardia. Complications related to aneurysmectomy are uncommon. We describe an unusual patient who presented with hemoptysis related to the form...
متن کاملLeft ventricular aneurysm as a coronary risk factor independent of overall left ventricular function.
Patients with left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) have been shown to have a higher mortality rate than those with normal left ventricular function. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not LVA, in patients with coronary artery disease, is a risk factor independent of left ventricular function. Thirty-nine patients with angiographically demonstrated segmental dyskinesis (LVA group) ...
