A 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of severe mitral regurgitation. Minimally invasive mitral valvuloplasty was performed. Six months after surgery, he presented with discomfort. Urgent coronary angiography showed a normal coronary artery and large left ventricular aneurysm. After atypical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was diagnosed, his clinical symptoms and heart function were improved with medication for his persistent left ventricular aneurysm. After 24 hours, Hotler showed a lethal ventricular arrhythmia. Surgical treatment was recommended and refused. After four years of observation, he died of asystole. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is considered a severe complication after surgery. The prognosis is very poor if it has catastrophic complications.

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.

Abstract We present a rare and challenging case of left ventricular aneurysm in an African child with no history of previous infection or trauma, admitted for surgical treatment, who presented non reversible cardiorespiratory arrest with cardiorespiratory resuscitation before surgery.
