About Repair of LV Aneurysm

Repair of a left ventricular (LV) aneurysm is a specialized cardiac surgical procedure performed to correct a life-threatening bulge or weakened area in the heart's main pumping chamber. This condition, often a complication of a major heart attack, can lead to heart failure, dangerous blood clots, and severe arrhythmias. The procedure, typically performed by a cardiac or vascular surgeon, involves opening the chest, placing the patient on a heart-lung bypass machine, and then either removing the scarred, non-functioning aneurysm tissue or reinforcing the weakened wall. The goal is to restore the heart's normal, efficient shape and function, thereby improving blood flow, reducing symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, and significantly lowering the risk of future cardiac events. This is a major but often life-saving intervention for restoring cardiac health.

Key Highlights

    Restores the normal, efficient shape and pumping function of the heart's left ventricle.Reduces symptoms of heart failure such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling.Significantly lowers the risk of forming dangerous blood clots within the heart.Helps control and prevent life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias).Improves long-term survival and quality of life for eligible patients.

Who is this surgery for?

  • A large left ventricular aneurysm causing significant heart failure symptoms unresponsive to medication.
  • Recurrent, dangerous ventricular arrhythmias (like ventricular tachycardia) originating from the aneurysm.
  • Evidence of a blood clot (thrombus) within the aneurysm, posing a high risk of stroke.
  • Progressive enlargement of the aneurysm observed on follow-up imaging studies.
  • Severe chest pain (angina) related to the aneurysm's impact on heart function.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive cardiac evaluation including echocardiogram, cardiac MRI, and possibly a coronary angiogram.
  • Optimization of heart failure and other medications under cardiologist guidance.
  • Complete blood work, chest X-ray, and other standard pre-operative tests.
  • Consultation with the cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist to discuss the procedure and risks.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before surgery and stopping certain medications like blood thinners as directed.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Specific cardiac risks: heart attack, stroke, or new arrhythmias during or after surgery.
  • Potential for low cardiac output syndrome, requiring temporary medication or device support.
  • Risk of damage to surrounding structures or incomplete aneurysm repair.
  • Long-term risks include possible recurrence of heart failure or arrhythmias.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery in the Cardiac ICU for 1-2 days for close monitoring of heart function.
  • Progressive mobilization and breathing exercises to prevent complications like pneumonia.
  • Pain management and careful monitoring of the surgical incision site.
  • Gradual initiation of a cardiac rehabilitation program under medical supervision.
  • Lifelong follow-up with a cardiologist, including medications to manage heart function and prevent clots.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks
