LEFT-VENTRICULAR ANEURYSM WITHOUT ATHEROM ATOUS CORONARY-ARTERY DISEASE - 2 CASE-REPORTS

Left ventricular aneurysms are usually secondary to myocardial infarct ion with atheromatous coronary artery disease. The authors report two rare cases of non-atheromatous left ventricular apical aneurysms. The first case was clearly post-traumatic but the diagnosis in the second case was more difficult. The authors discuss the aetiological diagnosi s of these rare non-atheromatous aneurysms in adults and the therapeut ic management with respect to these two cases and a review of the lite rature.
