Surgical reconstruction of a giant left ventricular aneurysm with prior unloading using a microaxial pump

A 46-year-old male patient presented with cardiac decompensation due to a giant left ventricular aneurysm combined with a severely reduced left ventricular function after a silent myocardial infarction. Left ventricular unloading was performed with a microaxial pump as a bridge to surgery. Myocardia...

Sumario:A 46-year-old male patient presented with cardiac decompensation due to a giant left ventricular aneurysm combined with a severely reduced left ventricular function after a silent myocardial infarction. Left ventricular unloading was performed with a microaxial pump as a bridge to surgery. Myocardial function in the basal segments was preserved and surgical ventricular reconstruction was performed successfully.
