심근경색후 발생한 좌심실류의 외과적 치료

We experienced one case of the left ventricular aneurysm. The patient was 44 years old male, who complained of dysarthria and dysphagia due to right cerebellar infarction EKG revealed antero-lateral myocardial infarction, so checked 2-D echo-cardiogram showed the left ventricular aneurysm with the mural thrombus. Aneurysmectomy with removal of thrombi was made for preventing further propagation of the systemic embolization. But CABG was impossible due to fine coronary artery at the portion of myocardial infarction. Mild LCOS was noted but postop course was smooth. During 12 months follow-up period, he lives in good physical activity [MYHA F.C. II /IV] and absence of chest pain.
