We report a 51-year-old asymptomatic male, with type II diabetes, referred to our outpatient clinic due to ST and T alterations on the precordial leads on the electrocardiogram. The echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and left ventricular hypertrophy. There were no angiographic lesions in the coronary angiography. In the left ventriculography, a hyperdynamic left ventricle with suspected left ventricular hypertrophy and an apical aneurysm were found. The cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed those findings, without late gadolinium enhancement. According to the European Cardiology Society Risk Score, the patient had a low sudden death risk. However, this score does not consider the presence of an aneurysm as risk factor for sudden death, but it is considered in the 2017 ACC/AHA Heart Rhythm Society Guidelines, as a major risk factor. Therefore a defibrillator was implanted, and he was discharged on permanent oral anticoagulation.

A sub-mitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare condition. It is a congenital outpouching of the left ventricular wall, invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior mitral leaflet. Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) has usually been reported as a consequence of myocardial ischemia (MI), rheumatic heart disease, tuberculosis, and infective endocarditis. Nevertheless, there have been few case reports of congenital SMA in India. It usually presents with symptoms of heart failure. We report a rare case of congenital SMA in a 27-year-old young Indian and its successful management through a trans-aneurysmal approach.

Review
Up to 40% of acute ischaemic strokes in young adults are cryptogenic in nature, that is, no cause is determined. In more than half of these patients, patent foramen ovale (PFO) is seen along with an increased incidence of atrial septal aneurysm. The commonest method of investigation is echocardiography (preferably transoesophageal echocardiography). On the basis of available evidence, low risk patients are treated with antiplatelet agents and high risk patients with warfarin. There are inconclusive data on the efficacy of PFO closure to prevent stroke recurrence. However, if there is recurrent stroke or intolerance to medical therapy, percutaneous closure is carried out.

Comparative Study
We present our experience with 2 options for device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm. Thirty-four patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm, aged from 14 to 42 years, underwent transcatheter closure with modified double-disk occluders. A sheath was used to deliver the occluder after establishment of a stable "arteriovenous loop" under fluoroscopy. Electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography were used for follow-up. All but 1 patient experienced successful transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm, when occluders were used in 2 different positions. There were 19 patients whose perimembranous ventricular septal defects were closed at the inlet of the aneurysm and 15 patients whose defects were closed at the outlet. Eight patients had a residual shunt immediately after the procedure, which disappeared during follow-up. One patient developed minor aortic regurgitation. Four patients who manifested different types of conductive block were all in the group that underwent closure at the inlet of the aneurysm. No other complications were observed during follow-up.We infer that perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm can be successfully closed with modified double-disk occluders. Each of the 2 options that we have presented for transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm has its advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, the configuration of the lesion should decide the type and position of the device.

Review
A 43-year-old woman underwent excision of an aneurysm of the left atrial appendage, which had been causing cerebrovascular embolic episodes. We attribute the aneurysm to congenital dysplasia of the musculi pectinati in the left atrial appendage and of the bands of atrial muscle from which they arise. In Appendix I, we draw attention to the morphologically similar arrangements of inner and outer bands that emanate from a common transverse interatrial band and yield morphologically similar medial, descending, and ascending palm-leaf arrangements of musculi pectinati. In addition, we observe that the strap-like arrangements of musculi in both atria connect the outer band with the para-annular segment of the inner band. In Appendix II, we briefly review the literature concerning musculi pectinati and related bands.

Left ventricular aneurysm in African patients is most often luetic; the only other common left ventricular aneurysm in African patients is agnogenic and not a complication of coronary artery disease. The management of a left ventricular aneurysm by surgical excision with cardiorespiratory bypass in an African patient is described. The literature which relates to left ventricular aneurysm in African patients is briefly reviewed.
