On ventricular aneurysms, thrombi, and COVID-19	2020-10-09		.txt	text/plain	378	36	56	title: On ventricular aneurysms, thrombi, and COVID-19 We read with interest the letter by Dr. Babokin 1 and agree with his points regarding resection of peri-infarct myocardium that may harbor foci of ventricular tachycardia. The technique he describes is one of several to manage post-infarct left ventricular (LV) aneurysms, ranging from the simple linear technique to endoventricular circular patch plasty as we described. 2 Choice of technique should be patient-specific, with the salient points being restoration of normal LV volume and appearance as much as possible, exclusion of akinetic segments and nidus for thrombus, and preservation of mitral competency. Dr. Babokin has published an innovative technique, 3 in which preoperative electroanatomic mapping is used to mark the transition zone with endocardial radiofrequency ablation lesions.
