Coronary Sparing Aneurysmectomy

Abstract

Repairing left ventricular aneurysms that form after myocardial infarction may be challenging, especially if located close to the important native coronary arteries. Here, we describe a rare case of anterolateral aneurysm of the basal LV wall and a safe, efficient approach for a patch plasty sparing the native left anterior descending.
