Abstract:
Objective:To examine the efficacy of two surgical procedures on post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm.Methods:The clinic data of 254 patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm, who underwent surgical ventricular reconstruction between January 1997 and December 2019 in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University was analyzed retrospectively. There were 183 males and 71 females aged from 31 to 81 years, with a median age of 64.6 years. Based on the size of the ventricular aneurysm, there were 73 patient received linear reconstruction (linear group) and 181 patients received endoventricular patch plasty technique (patch plasty group). Ejection fraction, left ventricular systolic and end diastolic volume and left ventricular systolic and end diastolic volume index were recorded preoperatively, 2-week, 3-month, 1-year and 5-year after operation. The survival curves were plotted with Kaplan-Meier method and the survival rates were compared by Log-rank test.Results:All patients underwent surgery with a mean cardiopulmonay bypass duration of (92±32) minutes (44 to 196 minutes) and aortic cross clamp duration of (67±22) minutes (33 to 152 minutes).There were 9 perioperative deaths with a mortality rate of 3.5%. Angina pectoris of other cases are relief and heart function improved greatly. Five years after operation, the percentage of cardiac function (New Yord Heart Association) class Ⅲ to Ⅳ patients decreased from 96.1%(244/254) to 9.9%(16/161). There was no significant difference in survival rate between linear group and patch plasty group at 1-, 3-, 5-years postoperatively (96%, 91%, 77% vs. 96%, 90%, 79%, P=0.562). Ejection fraction increased from (39±10)% (range: 22% to 50%) preoperatively to (46±6)% (range: 39% to 54%) 1-year postoperatively in the linear group, while increased from (38±13)% (range: 26% to 51%) preoperatively to (50±6)% (range: 39% to 55%) in the patch plasty group. Conclusions:Left ventricular reconstruction is quite effective for patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm. The choice of operative approaches is determined by the size and range of ventricular aneurysm. Both linear reconstruction and endoventricular patch plasty technique can got similarly surgical outcomes with near and late curative effect.
