Overview
Surgical aneurysmectomy is recommended during CABG surgery for large, symptomatic aneurysms that cause angina pectoris or heart failure.
Surgery
- Surgical aneurysmectomy is recommended for large, symptomatic aneurysms that caused angina pectoris or heart failure. Appropriate CABG is indicated at the time of aneurysmectomy.[1]
- Another indication for surgical intervention is in patients who can not tolerate long term anticoagulation therapy.[2]

| Class IIa |
| "1. It is reasonable that patients with STEMI who develop a ventricular aneurysm associated with intractable ventricular tachyarrhythmias and/or pump failure unresponsive to medical and catheter-based therapy be considered for LV aneurysmectomy and CABG surgery.(Level of Evidence: B)" |
