Ventricular restoration in adults with huge congenital left ventricular aneurysm: report of two cases.

Congenital ventricular aneurysms (CVA) are rare cardiac anomalies that have been predominantly described in the Black population. They are characterized by an akinetic ventricular protrusion that is commonly located at the basal and apical segments. Although the diagnosis is often incidental and the majority of patients are asymptomatic, life-threatening events such as persistent ventricular arrhythmias, CVA rupture, and heart failure are not uncommon.

Congenital heart diseases account for 0.5-1% of births. The management of children with cardiac malformation requires treatment in a suitable center, adequate medical equipment and specific anesthetic and surgical knowledge.
