Despite improvements in the early intervention of myocardial infarction (MI) in recent decades, left ventricular aneurysms (LVA) remain a major health concern, particularly in developing nations. The progression of MI can lead to the thinning of the myocardial wall and the formation of a ventricular wall bulge, characteristic of an LVA. Furthermore, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the gold standard for LVA diagnosis due to its superior imaging capabilities. Notably, surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) is an effective treatment for LVA, aiming to restore the normal volume and structure of the left ventricle, thereby improving cardiac function. However, the criteria for selecting patients for SVR treatment remains a subject of debate. This review focuses on the current understanding of surgical indications, procedures, and prognostic risk factors that influence outcomes in left ventricular reconstruction, highlighting the need for precise patient selection to optimize surgical benefits.
