Effect of Noncompacted Myocardial Resection on Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction

Ann Thorac Surg. 2020 Nov;110(5):e387-e389. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.03.071. Epub 2020 Apr 29.

Abstract

Isolated left ventricular noncompaction, where broad trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses are observed in the left ventricular myocardium resulting from an arrest in normal embryogenesis, is a rare cardiomyopathy. We present a report on isolated trabeculectomy and postoperative echocardiographic follow-up showing recovery of cardiac function for isolated left ventricular noncompaction.
