# Left Ventricular Aneurysms in Children

**NCT ID:** [NCT00268034](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00268034)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** TERMINATED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 5
- **Lead Sponsor:** Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
- **Conditions:** Congenital Disorders
- **Start Date:** 2002-06
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2007-05-07

## Brief Summary

Collect data to support "standard of care possibility" of extracardiac repair with closure of intracavitary communication and plication of the aneurysm as probably safest surgical repair for left ventricular aneurysms.

## Detailed Description

Ventricular aneurysms in the pediatric population are rare and no standardized method of treatment exists.

We plan on reviewing five patient charts between the dates of 6.30.02 and 6.30.04 as to causes of aneurysms. The patient charts selected will be in the following "aneurysm categories":

Mostly occur after:

Ross/Ross-Konno procedures modified Rastelli-type interventricular tunnels repeated resections of subaortic stenosis and possibly after: myocardial ischemia trauma drainage of abscess in infective endocarditis progressive herniation of endocardium mostly located: in LV outflow tract

We plan on collecting echocardiograms and / or cardiac catheterizations data in order to confirm the diagnosis of an aneurysm. We will also collect the following information:

* Procedures including the dates performed
* Medications
* Physical Exam Findings
* Weight
* Gestational Age
* Outcome

## Eligibility

- **Maximum age:** 21 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* aneurysms between 6.30.2002 and 6.30.2004

Exclusion Criteria:

* those children who do no meet inclusion criteria
