CMR-LGE images in short-axis view of a patient who presented with transmural myocardial scarring ( arrows ) pre-repair ( top left ). Myocardial scar increased post-repair from 9.3 to 11.4% of myocardial mass (top right) while functional recovery was adequate. In another patient transmural LGE in thin apical LV myocardium (4-chamber view) was detected pre-repair (bottom left) and was characterized as subendocardial post-repair (bottom right). This patient showed almost no recovery of LV dimension and function at early follow-up CMR.
