Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) is the therapy of choice for patients with left ventricular dilatation, apical and anterolateral transmural scar, and low ejection fraction. STICH trial did not show that SVR led to improved survival but several observational studies did. However, because of the considerable operative risk, open heart surgery is considered risky in debilitated patients and clinical results are controversial. Alternative less invasive strategies for left ventricular aneurysm repair have been proposed. We present a case of a left ventricular aneurysm repair using the less invasive ventricular enhancement technique (LIVE) with the Revivent TC system (BioVentrix Inc., San Ramon, CA) in a totally surgical approach, instead of a hybrid interventional-surgical one, as previously described.

Left ventricular aneurysm in patients who have undergone previous cardiac surgery is infrequently reported. We reviewed the results in all patients treated for left ventricular aneurysm between 1983 and 1995 at St. Vincent Hospital and Medical Center. Of 109 patients undergoing left ventricular aneurysm surgery, 10 had open heart surgery an average of 8.9 years previously. There was no mortality or significant morbidity in those who had previous operations. Functional status improved significantly after surgery. We concluded that surgical treatment of left ventricular aneurysm in patients who had previous open heart surgery can be performed with acceptable risks and leads to functional improvement.
