Abstract
The partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) for end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) which worked in some patients has been reported, although the hospital mortality is high. To reduce hospital mortality, we selected operative procedures of left ventricular (LV) restoration to improve the operative results. We analyzed the risk factors and predictors of outcome, and the mid-term changes of the LV function were determined. Between December 1996 and September 2000, 74 patients with non-ischemic DCM received LV restoration. The age ranged from 14 to 76 years (mean, 49.0+/-14.0 years), and there were 63 men and 11 women. The etiology of the DCM was idiopathic DCM in 49 patients, and dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in seven patients and others in 18. The preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class was 29 in class III and 45 in class IV, in which 32 patients depended on inotropic support. PLV or septal anterior ventricular exclusion (SAVE) was selected depending on the akinetic lesion of the LV based on the intraoperative echo-test. Fifty-six patients received elective operations, and emergency operations were performed in 18 patients. The risk factors and predictors of outcome were analyzed in 74 patients, and i...Continue Reading
