(a) Pre-operative computed tomography demonstrating a calcified left ventricle apical
aneurysm (red arrow) in long axis, with a distance from the apex to the mitral valve of
11.5 cm in diastole. (b) Post-operative computed tomography of the heart showing the
reconstructed left ventricle at 11 months following the Dor procedure, with a distance
from the apex to the mitral valve of 9.0 cm in diastole.

Cardiac imaging showed a large-sized calcified apical aneurysm on computed tomography (Figure 1(a)) and magnetic resonance imaging of the heart. At 12-month follow-up, he was asymptomatic and his echocardiography and computed tomography images (Figure 1(b)) revealed significantly reduced LV diastolic dimensions and volumes.
