The work is devoted to the development of new methods of surgical treatment of postinfarction aneurysms. An experience with performing 25 operations of tunneling the myocardium of the left ventricle and aneurysmoplasty has shown the possibility of performing such operations in patients when it is impossible to perform the direct aortocoronary shunting and aneurysmectomy under conditions of extracorporeal circulation.
