Abstract
Postinfarction heart aneurysm is one of the most dangerous complications of acute myocardial infarction, determining high mortality rates. Despite the improvement of modern diagnostic methods, as well as the modernization of the system for providing highly specialized medical care to patients with acute coronary syndrome, the issues related to this issue have not lost their relevance. The publications available at this time are few and relate only to specific cases that demonstrate the advantages of a particular type of surgical correction. This clinical observation demonstrates a tactical approach to a patient with acute thrombosed postinfarction aneurysm of the upper left ventricle, when postoperative period was complicated by the development of a massive pulmonary embolism. The obtained results of stage-by-stage surgical treatment clearly show the effectiveness of the active surgical approach in relation to patients with a high premorbid profile.
