Post Infarction left ventricle remodeling surgical treatment, different
ways to get same result
Abstract
The surgical ventricular restoration is an evolution of treatment of
left ventricle aneurysm. The aetioloy of left ventricle aneurysm and the
dilated post AMI cardiomiopaty is the same; the difference is in the
extension of scarred tissue and in the quality of remote zone. Because
in this anatomical situation the geometry of left left ventricle can be
deeply affected, it can very difficult to have point of reference as
position of apex or papillary mussles. Using a sizer and combine
different surgical thecniques allow to rebuilt a ventricle with
appropriate volume and shape.
