Pre- and postoperative myocardial and blood pool scans in a case of left ventricular aneurysm: Case report.
Myocardial perfusion scans (using 131Cs) and blood pool scans (113mIn) were performed on a patient before and after resection of a left venticular aneurysm. Although the huge aneurysm was revealed by preoperative scans, preservation of a significant mass of myocardium was evident. Postoperative scans show the reconstructed heart and the amount of residual damage. The operative findings confirmed the reliability of the scan information.
