Who is this surgery for?
- Significant coronary artery disease requiring bypass, combined with a post-infarction (post-heart attack) left ventricular aneurysm.
- Heart failure symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling) due to the aneurysm's impact on pumping efficiency.
- Recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (dangerous heart rhythms) originating from the scarred aneurysm tissue.
- Evidence of blood clots within the left ventricular aneurysm.
- A large aneurysm that is progressively enlarging or causing significant distortion of the heart's shape and function.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive Cardiac Evaluation: Includes coronary angiography, echocardiogram, and possibly a cardiac MRI or CT scan to precisely map the aneurysm and blockages.
- Medication Review: Adjusting or stopping certain blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel) as directed by the cardiac team.
- Pre-operative Testing: Blood tests, chest X-ray, ECG, and assessments of lung and kidney function.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Smoking cessation is mandatory. Optimizing diet and managing other conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
- Pre-admission Counseling: Meeting with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and cardiac rehabilitation team to discuss the procedure, risks, and recovery plan.
Risks & possible complications
- General Surgical Risks: Bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Cardiac-Specific Risks: Heart attack, stroke, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), and low cardiac output syndrome.
- Procedure-Related Risks: Graft failure, incomplete aneurysm repair, or injury to surrounding structures.
- Post-Operative Complications: Kidney dysfunction, lung problems (atelectasis, pneumonia), and neurological issues.
- Long-Term Considerations: Potential for recurrent angina, heart failure, or aneurysm recurrence, though the surgery aims to prevent these.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial Hospital Stay: 1-2 days in the Cardiac ICU followed by 5-7 days in a step-down unit for close monitoring of heart function, pain management, and wound care.
- Early Mobilization: Gradual sitting up, standing, and walking with assistance begins within 1-2 days post-surgery to prevent complications.
- Medication Regimen: Strict adherence to new prescriptions for blood thinners, cholesterol medications, blood pressure control, and possibly anti-arrhythmics.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: A structured, supervised program of exercise and education is crucial for strengthening the heart and body, typically starting a few weeks after discharge.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Permanent adoption of a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise as tolerated, stress management, and complete smoking cessation.

Navya Jones, a 58-year-old high school...
Navya Jones, a 58-year-old high school principal, had always been the pillar of strength for her family and staff. A heart attack three years ago left her with a weakened heart muscle. Despite medications, she grew increasingly breathless, unable to walk across the school courtyard without stopping. A persistent, dull ache in her chest became her constant companion. A follow-up echocardiogram revealed the culprit: a large left ventricular aneurysm, a bulging, scarred section of her heart wall, that was impairing its pumping efficiency and causing her angina. Her cardiologist, Dr. Chen, explained that while her blocked arteries needed bypasses (CABG), the aneurysm also needed to be repaired to restore her heart's shape and function. "We need to fix the plumbing and remodel the house," he said gently. After the complex 6-hour surgery, Navya's initial days in the Cardiac ICU were a blur of tubes and fatigue. The emotional journey was profound; before surgery, she felt like her body was betraying her vibrant spirit, filled with fear of leaving her students and family. The first time she took a few steps in the hospital corridor without gasping for air, she wept with relief. Six months post-op, she's back at work part-time, her energy steadily returning. She feels emotionally lighter, having traded the weight of constant limitation for the manageable challenge of cardiac rehab, viewing her chest scar as a badge of survival.
