- The study focuses on the surgical treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP), a rare condition with high mortality rates, analyzing 13 patients over a 10-year span.
- Various surgical techniques were employed, including suturing and patching, alongside other procedures like coronary artery bypass, with an operative mortality rate of 30.8%.
- The study concludes that surgical repair of post-infarct LVP can have an acceptable mortality rate and notes that no cardiac ruptures occurred in the treated patients.
