Introduction
Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is a cardiac
abnormality of unknown etiology, characterized by an increased number of
trabeculations in the inner layer of the myocardium and a thinner than
usual external compact myocardial layer. LVHT is found as a congenital
abnormality but may be also acquired [1]. LVHT can present with
normal ventricular function, as well as with both systolic and diastolic
dysfunction [1]. There is no specific therapy for LVHT, while
surgical treatment is focused on correction of any underlying congenital
or adult abnormalities [1-3]. We report a rare case of successful
left ventricular restoration of LVHT after Bentall procedure in a
patient with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and aortic root aneurysm.
