Application of Circular Patch Plasty (Dor Procedure) or Linear Repair Techniques in the Treatment of Left Ventricular Aneurysms

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate early clinical outcomes and
echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricle in patients who
underwent left ventricular aneurysm repair using two different techniques
associated to myocardial revascularization.Methods: Eighty-nine patients (74 males, 15 females; mean age 58 ±8.4 years;
range: 41 to 80 years) underwent post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm
repair and myocardial revascularization performed between 1996 and 2016.
Ventricular reconstruction was performed using endoventricular circular
patch plasty (Dor procedure) (n=48; group A ) or linear repair technique
