Résumé |
Described herein are 4 patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) because of heart failure caused by acute myocardial infarcts which healed. These healed infarcts were the result of preferential severe narrowing of the left anterior descending coronary artery. In all 4 cases, the myocardial infarct caused severe scarring of the ventricular septum (VS), more than that observed in the left ventricular free wall where most myocardial infarcts secondary to coronary artery narrowing typically occur.
