[Early complications and changes of left ventricular geometry and volume following two types of ventricular reconstruction: compression of scar zone and modified Dor aneurysmectomy].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate early complication rate and changes of left ventricular geometry and function after two types of left ventricular reconstruction surgery.

Methods: The study included 54 patients with ischemic heart disease and left ventricular aneurysm, who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular reconstruction surgery: I group (31 patients) underwent modified Dor aneurysmectomy and II group (23 patients) underwent infarcted wall compression. The study protocol included operative data, early postoperative complications and evaluation of left ventricular function 10(th)-14(th) day after surgery.
