The most common surgical technique to reconstruct a left ventricular aneurysm is endoventricular patch plasty (Dor procedure). In this case, endoventricular reconstruction of the left ventricular aneurysm using a double-layer extracellular matrix was performed. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Key words: left ventricle, heart aneurysm, extracellular matrix, stroke volume
