Objectives: Controversy still exists regarding the optimal surgical technique for postinfarction dyskinetic left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) repair. We compared the efficacy of two established techniques, linear vs. patch remodeling, for repair of dyskinetic LVA. Patients and methods: From 1989 to 1998, 95 (16 women, 79 men) consecutive patients were operated on for postinfarction dyskinetic LVA. Thirty-four patients underwent patch remodeling (R) and 61 linear (L) repair. The mean age was 61.1 ^ 8.5 years. Indications for surgery alone or in combination included angina in 72 patients, dyspnea in 64 and ventricular tachycardia in 41. Thirty-seven patients had a history of congestive heart failure (R 13 (38%), L 24 (39%), NS). The mean ejecti...
