L.V. Aneurysms Operation

The left ventricle, your heart's main pumping chamber, can become weakened and bulge outward due to a condition called left ventricular aneurysm (LVA). This bulge can disrupt your heart's rhythm and efficiency, leading to concerning symptoms. At Plexus Heart Surgery Centre, we understand the importance of addressing LVA promptly. Our team of highly-skilled cardiac surgeons specializes in performing LVA repair surgery, offering innovative techniques to restore your heart's strength and improve your overall health.

Understanding Left Ventricular Aneurysm:

LVA often develops following a heart attack that damages a portion of the left ventricle, causing it to weaken and bulge outward. This bulge can:
- Reduce the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
- Increase the risk of blood clots forming within the aneurysm.
- Disrupt the normal electrical rhythm of your heart, leading to arrhythmias.

Symptoms of Left Ventricular Aneurysm:

Symptoms of LVA can vary depending on the severity of the condition. You might experience:
- Shortness of breath, especially during exertion
- Fatigue
- Chest pain or tightness
- Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
- Heart palpitations
- Lightheadedness or dizziness

Treatment Options for Left Ventricular Aneurysm:

Depending on the size and location of the aneurysm and your overall health, our cardiologists may recommend either medication management or surgical repair.
Medication Management: Medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms like heart failure or arrhythmias, and sometimes to prevent blood clots.
LVA Repair Surgery: For individuals experiencing significant symptoms or those at high risk of complications, LVA repair surgery is often recommended. This procedure aims to strengthen the weakened area of the left ventricle and restore its normal function.
