To evaluate early postoperative results of modified Cooley's technique of ventricular endoaneurysmorrhaphy.Eight patients, seven males, with ages ranging 38.0 to 67.0 years (m = 51.2 +/- 11.4 years) and with postinfarction left ventricular aneurysms were submitted to surgical repair by a modified Cooley's technique of ventricular endoaneurysmorrhaphy.No postoperative complication occurred and all patients were discharged from the hospital asymptomatic on a mean time of 9.0 +/- 2.3 days after surgery. The mean cardiac index increased from 2.1 +/- 0.5 to 3.3 +/- 1.1 l/min (p less than 0.05) with a mean percentual increase of 53.0%. No patient required mechanical circulatory assistance after surgery and the pharmacological support could be interrupted soon.Ventricular endoaneurysmorrhaphy searchs to restore shape, contour and volume to the left ventricle and has shown excellent initial results. |
