Introduction
Left ventricular aneurysms (LVAs) are found in 10 to 30% of patients suffering from anterior myocardial infarction1. Traditionally, scar reduction has required the use of invasive surgical techniques2. The Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) trial is a classic trial comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) alone with a combined procedure of CABG and surgical ventricular reconstruction3. Currently, catheter-based procedures for direct modification of the left ventricle are represented by the Parachute device (CardioKinetix Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA) and the Revivent TC™ device (BioVentrix Inc., San Ramon, CA, USA)4,5. We report our single-centre experience and outcomes ...
