Left Ventricular Aneurysm Repair: Off-pump Linear Plication < i > versus < /i > On-pump Patch Plasty
Objective: The study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of simplified linear
plication and classic patch plasty in patients with left ventricular
aneurysm (LVA).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 282 patients undergoing LVA repair between 2006
and 2016. After propensity score matching, 45 pairs of patients receiving
LVA surgery were divided into either a patch group (on-pump endoventricular
patch plasty) or a plication group (off-pump linear plication). Then, their
early surgical outcomes and long-term survival were compared in two matched
groups.Results: The heart function improvement at discharge was simila ...
