title: [Dor operation for left ventricular aneurysm with sustained ventricular tachycardia].
abstract: A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of syncope attack due to sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). She was treated medically after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Coronary arteriography revealed a 99% stenosis of right coronary artery (posterior descending artery: # 4 PD), a 90% stenosis of left descending artery (# 6) and left akinetic aneurysm was demonstrated. The patient successfully underwent Dor operation with endocardial cryoablation. The postoperative course was uneventful and the recurrence of VT was never recognized clinically.
