    Abstract:
    Operative and late post-operative results in 52 patients undergoing operation for chronic postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm are described. Aneurysm resection was performed in 33 patients. This procedure was combined with myocardial revascularization by means of insertion of a venous aorto-coronary by-pass graft in 14 cases. Hospital mortality for the total group was 3,8% (2 deaths). Surviving patients were followed-up 3 to 66 months. Two late deaths occurred. Clinical and functinal improvement occurred in the majority of surviving patients. The impact of simultaneous aorto-coronary by-pass grafting on operative results is discussed.
