[Results after resection of left ventricular aneurysm (author's transl)].
This resport concerns 105 left ventricular aneurysmectomies, 44 of which were combined with additional operations. Mortality in hospital was 7.6%, the survival rate after 4 years 84%. Postoperative examinations were carried out in 74 patients after an average interval of 21 months. There was a subjective improvement in 2/3 of the cases, only 1/3 returned to work. Angina pectoris was improved in 2/3, principally in the group with additional revascularization. The functional tolerance test showed that only 57% improved their physiological capacity for work. The effect of aneurysmectomy on preoperative cardiac arrhythmias was unreliable and on the whole disappointing.
