ventricular aneurysm resection
Surgical removal of a ventricular aneurysm, typically post-infarction, often combined with ventricular reconstruction.
Full Definition
Ventricular aneurysm resection involves surgical removal of a localized area of ventricular wall that has become aneurysmal, typically following myocardial infarction. The procedure aims to improve ventricular function, reduce arrhythmogenic substrate, and eliminate the risk of aneurysm rupture. Modern techniques often incorporate ventricular reconstruction methods such as the Dor procedure to restore more normal ventricular geometry and optimize cardiac performance following aneurysm removal.
Usage
Usage note: Specify the ventricular location (anterior, inferior, apical) and reconstruction technique used.
