    Abstract:
    We experienced a rare case of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and ventricular septal perforation (VSP) with normal coronary arteries, and had a good outcome by undergoing Dor procedure and direct closure of VSP individually. A 68-year-old female was printed out cardiac systolic murmur. Echocardiogram revealed LVA and VSP, but coronary arteriogram showed no significant stenosis. The apex was incised longitudinally, lateral and parallel to the interventricular groove. VSP was directly closed by 2 pieces of 3-0 polypropylene suture with felt strip. Purse-string stitch with 3-0 polyester suture around the transitional zone between fibrotic tissue and viable tissue was secured to firm fibrous tissue. The residual orifice was closed with an elliptical composite patch of equine pericardial patch and polyester velour with 3-0 polypropylene suture. We considered based on the operative finding that myocardial infarction (MI) led to LVA and VSP. Coronary thrombosis rather than coronary spasm may have provoked MI because spasm provocative test was negative.
