Abstract
Abstract A 46-year-old male patient presented with cardiac decompensation due to a giant left ventricular aneurysm combined with a severely reduced left ventricular function after a silent myocardial infarction. Left ventricular unloading was performed with a microaxial pump as a bridge to surgery. Myocardial function in the basal segments was preserved and surgical ventricular reconstruction was performed successfully.
