[Results of Dor's endoventricular repair in the management of left ventricular aneurysms].

Introduction: Left ventricular aneurysms are serious long-term complications from acute myocardial infarction that produce hemodynamic alterations in the cardiac function.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the chirurgical and clinic results of the endoventricular patch repair of the akinetic or dyskinetic portions of the left ventricle.

Methods: From August 2002 to October 2005, 20 consecutive patients underwent surgical repair of left ventricular aneurysm using the endoventricular patch repair technique.
