Dor operation for a young male with left ventricular aneurysm due to spontaneous left anterior descending coronary artery dissection

J Card Surg. 2004 Jan-Feb;19(1):54-6. doi: 10.1111/j.0886-0440.2004.04012.x.

Abstract

Surgical cases for myocardial ischemia due to spontaneous coronary artery dissection have rarely been reported. We describe a young male who had a myocardial infarction with left ventricular aneurysm due to spontaneous left anterior descending coronary artery dissection. He was successfully treated with Dor's left ventriculoplasty without coronary artery revascularization. The Dor procedure was a simple and effective treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which the Dor procedure was used to treat spontaneous coronary artery dissection with left ventricular aneurysm.
