Reconstructive surgery of postinfarction left ventricular aneurysms: techniques and unsolved problems.

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Arnaud de Villeneuve Hospital, Université de Montpellier I, Montpellier, France.

Published: August 2008

The progress in the surgical treatment of postinfarction left ventricular (LV) aneurysm surgery has reduced the operative mortality considerably, while the selection of the optimal LV repair technique remains unclear. Any of the surgical techniques presented in this review has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main goal of this study was to perform a selective literature review of LV aneurysm repair techniques, the most widespread being the linear repair and patch ventriculoplasty.

Background: Post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but has very serious implications. Managing PI-VSR using transcatheter closure (TCC) presents varying challenges depending on the patient's condition. The aim of this study is to present a highly challenging case of multiple VSRs as a complication of AMI.

Identifying factors that contribute to the transition to the dilated phase in cardiac ischemia is a critical challenge in heart failure treatment. Currently, no effective therapies exist for this ischemic complication, and the mechanisms driving left ventricular dilatation during chronic post-infarction remodeling remain poorly understood. One potential pathological process leading to ventricular dilatation involves specific compensatory rearrangements in the border zone adjacent to the infarct, which isolates the intact myocardium from inflammation at the scar edge.

To explore the regulation of vasodilatory function in rats with post-infarction heart failure by salvianolic acid B(Sal-B) based on the mechanosensitive ion channel, namely Piezo1. A post-infarction heart failure model of rats was prepared by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, Sal-B group(0.
