PG - 445-452 LID - 10.31083/j.rcm2202050 [doi] AB - Left ventricular (LV) aneurysm following acute myocardial infarction (MI) represents a less common complication, but with worse clinical outcomes. Ventricular surgical reconstruction is not always the intervention of choice due to high surgical risk. There were proposed less invasive LV aneurysm exclusion techniques such as the less invasive ventricular enhancement (LIVE) procedure. Our paper represents the first systematic approach to investigate the efficacy and safety of LIVE procedure using Revivent TC(TM) anchor system for LV aneurysm exclusion. Studies were considered if they reported original data regarding LIVE procedure's efficacy and/or safety using the Revivent TC(TM) system in patients with LV aneurysms. Five studies met the inclusion criteria. The procedure is associated with a reduction in LV volumes and an improvement in LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The means of preoperative LVEF varied between 22.8% and 35.6%, while postoperative LVEF means ranged between 34% and 45.9% (P < 0.005) across studies. All included papers reported a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative LV end-systolic volume index (P
