title: [Complex evaluation of the long-term results of resection of postinfarct aneurysms of the left ventricle].
abstract: Late results of left ventricular postinfarction aneurysm resection were studied in 112 patients. The results were good or satisfactory in 84.7% of patients, who mostly showed no hemodynamically significant coronary arterial stenoses or with one major branch affected, and a dyskinetic aneurysm. Clinical improvement was accompanied by a significant increase in stress tolerance, an increase in maximum oxygen utilization per 1 kg body weight, a decrease in the proportion of oxygen debt to oxygen want and better myocardial contractility, evidence of increased physical working capacity of the postoperative patients. The results were poor in patients with multiple coronary arterial stenoses and heart failure uncontrollable by medication.
