Lateral wall left ventricular aneurysm

Lateral wall left ventricular aneurysm. Preoperative axial (A) and 3-D (B) cardiac CT demonstrating a large lateral-wall LV aneurysm. The arrow in the axial image (A) points to the neck. Intraoperative image of the aneurysm with the apex of the heart lifted to expose the obtuse margin (C) and a large clot removed from within the aneurysm (D). Follow-up cardiac CT (E, F) performed six months after endoaneurysmorrhaphy shows restoration of the LV contour to normal and a bioprosthetic mitral valve.
