L.V. Aneurysm Surgery
Advanced Surgical Repair for Left Ventricular Aneurysms
by Dr. Abhishek R. Parmar
For You!
/
Left Ventricular (L.V.) Aneurysm Surgery is a specialized cardiac procedure performed to repair a weakened or bulging area of the left ventricle, most commonly developing after a heart attack. This condition can significantly impair heart function and increase the risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, or blood clots. With over 11,000+ successful heart, vascular, and thoracic surgeries, Dr. Abhishek R. Parmar is trusted for delivering safe, precise, and durable outcomes in complex ventricular reconstruction surgeries. His expertise in advanced cardiac reconstruction and high-risk heart surgery places him among the leading cardiac surgeons in Ahmedabad.
Understanding!
What is a Left Ventricular Aneurysm?
A left ventricular aneurysm is an abnormal bulging or thinning of a portion of the heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle). It usually occurs after a myocardial infarction (heart attack) when damaged heart muscle becomes weak and scarred. This affected area does not contract properly, reducing the heart’s pumping efficiency and increasing the risk of complications.
Purpose of the procedure
- Restore the normal shape and function of the left ventricle
- Improve heart-pumping efficiency
- Reduce symptoms of heart failure
- Prevent dangerous heart rhythm disturbances
- Lower the risk of clot formation and stroke
When is L.V. Aneurysm Surgery Needed?
Surgery may be recommended in patients with:
- Large or expanding left ventricular aneurysm
- Reduced heart function (low ejection fraction)
- Persistent heart failure symptoms despite medication
- Ventricular arrhythmias related to aneurysm
- Recurrent blood clots or risk of embolism
How L.V. Aneurysm Surgery Works
The procedure involves removing or excluding the non-functioning aneurysmal portion of the ventricle and reconstructing the heart to restore its normal size and shape. This is often referred to as ventricular reconstruction surgery.
In many cases, L.V. aneurysm repair is performed along with:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
- Valve repair or replacement, if required
This combined approach improves overall heart function and long-term outcomes.
Why Choose Dr. Abhishek R. Parmar for L.V. Aneurysm Surgery?
Dr. Parmar’s approach to Left Ventricular Aneurysm Surgery is defined by a focus on ventricular restoration rather than simple aneurysm removal. By combining advanced ventricular reconstruction techniques with precise surgical judgment, he aims to restore normal heart mechanics, improve pumping efficiency, and prevent progression to end-stage heart failure. His goal is durable improvement in heart function, long-term survival, and meaningful quality of life—not just temporary symptom relief.
