Partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) has been introduced to treat end-stage cardiomyopathy but has not achieved a favorable outcome. We thought it important to preserve cardiac muscle possessing the potential power source of the left ventricle and to avoid resection of the left circumflex coronary artery. From this viewpoint, we developed a new operative procedure of left ventricular (LV) volume reduction without any resection of cardiac muscle and have confirmed its beneficial effect in a canine model. This is the first clinical report of this new procedure.

Clinical summary

A 62-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) was referred to our institution in August 2001. Since 1995, he has been treated with medication, including ß-blockers, for DCM with mild mitral and aortic regurgitation confirmed by endocardial biopsy. However, he had orthopnea (New York Heart Association class III) in May 2001, when echocardiography demonstrated an ejection fraction (EF) of 23% with severe mitral and moderate aortic and tricuspid regurgitation. In July 2001, he required direct-current shock to be resuscitated from an arrhythmia. Preoperative catheter laboratory study showed mean . . . [Full Text of this Article]
