Fig 1 Representative intraoperative images. (A) Protruding epicardial lesion is observed on the apical wall. (B) and (C) Flat, patchy, and densely packed degenerative changes are also seen on the posterior left ventricular (LV) wall. The anterior wall of the broad white scar is opened along the left descending artery during the septal anterior ventricular exclusion procedure. In the long axis of the LV, the scar lesion extends from the basal to the apical portion. (D) In the short axis, the scar extends to the septal wall, and there is intraventricular thrombus on the endocardial surface of the basal septum.
