Surgical treatment of post-infarction ventricular septal defect and left ventricular aneurysm
Abstract
The article focuses on the possibilities of modern surgical interventions for conditions including post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) repair, left ventricular reconstruction, and coronary artery bypass grafting.
Current clinical case highlights the relevance of mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction, which, despite advances in cardiology and cardiac surgery, are still associated with high mortality. The development and standardization of surgical correction methods for these conditions, including optimal timing of surgery, remain important areas for improving treatment outcomes in patients with severe forms of myocardial infarction.
The described clinical case illustrates the complexity and multi-stage process of treating patients with PIVSR, from diagnosis to the postoperative period.
Data on the clinical condition, instrumental and laboratory research methods (echocardiography, coronary ventriculography), a detailed description of the performed surgical procedure, and the results of surgical intervention are presented, which can serve as a valuable guide for clinicians encountering similar cases in their practice.
The need for continued accumulation of clinical material and research in this area is indicated in order to optimize the results of surgical treatment for patients in this severe category.
