  • Title: [An elderly case with impending myocardial infarction of endoventricular circular patch plasty with coronary artery bypass grafting].
    Author: Toyama A, Sakahashi H, Takazawa A.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2002 May; 55(5):425-8. PubMed ID: 11995327.
    Abstract:
    An 81-year-old man with anterior impending re-myocardial infarction was urgently operated. Preoperative ECG and UCG examinations showed old myocardial infarction and LV aneurysm, respectively. We chose the Dor method (endoventricular circular patch plasty) and CABG aiming at early recovery from congestive heart failure. He fell into respiratory failure temporarily, but otherwise, the clinical course of this operation was good. He was discharged 47 days after the operation on foot. The Dor method combined with CABG is excellent way to relieve patients from congestive heart failure with LV aneurysm.
