Abstract
One of the manifestations of ischemic cardiomyopathy is remodeling of left ventricular (LV), which can manifest itself both globally and as a result of an aneurysm. In the vast majority of cases, LV aneurysm location is the apex and the anterior septal region; very rarely, aneurysms are localized in the area of the posterior LV wall and are large. Due to the relative rarity of the given localization surgical treatment tactics of this pathology is not well-established and standardized. The work presents a clinical case of surgical treatment of an aneurysm of the LV posterior wall, demonstrates the stages of diagnosis, and also identifies the features of surgical intervention with the results of treatment in 6 months after surgery.
