Rupture of a calcified true left ventricular aneurysm: echocardiographic diagnosis and successful repair

This report describes a rupture of a calcified left ventricular aneurysm 10 years after initial infarction. Operation 10 days after rupture was complicated by extensive ventricular calcification, in particular, the ventricular septum. Repair was achieved by endocardial resection of calcium, preservation of the myocardium and linear approximation.
