Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy in Advanced Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Despite widespread application in clinical practice and extensive laboratory investigations, many basic issues regarding left ventricular aneurysmectomy remain to be resolved. Analysis of clinical data from the authors' three centers and application of powerful modern imaging techniques provide important information to resolve these issues.
