We hereby present the experience of our center with total arterial myocar- dial revascularization (TAMR) and spiral aneurysmorrhaphy for ischemic heart disease. A retrospective analysis of 101 patients with advanced cardiovascular disease who underwent TAMR and spiral aneurysmorrhaphy was performed. Spiral aneurysmorrhaphy is a modifcation of the linear aneurysmorrhaphy and was applied to patients who had a LV aneurysm with a diameter of less than 5 cm. Peri-operative and in-hospital data were retrieved. The majority of the patients were male (87.13%) with a mean age of 63.1 years. Mean pre-operative ejection fraction (EF) was 35.7% ranging between 20 and 65%. An average of 3.23 grafts was required per patient. Early mortality was 6.93% (one intra-operative and six in-hospital deaths). Addition of concomitant valve surgery was associated with prolonged total operative, cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp time (p < 0.001), increased need for blood (p = 0.012) and plasma (p = 0.038), longer intensive care unit (ICU) stay (p = 0.045) and higher rate of post-operative cerebrovascular accident (p = 0.011).

  • The Memory of the Heart
    Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease Review The Memory of the Heart Marco Cirillo Heart Failure Surgery Unit, Cardiac Surgery Unit, Cardiovascular Department, Poliambulanza Foundation Hospital, Via Leonida Bissolati 57, 25125 Brescia, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-030-351-8088 Received: 2 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 11 November 2018 Abstract: The embryological development of the heart is one of the most fascinating phenomena in nature and so is its final structure and function. The various ontogenetic passages form the evolutive basis of the final configuration of the heart. Each key step can be recognized in the final features, as the heart maintains a kind of “memory” of these passages. We can identify the major lines of development of the heart and trace these lines up to the mature organ. The aim of this review is to identify these key parameters of cardiac structure and function as essential elements of the heart’s proper functioning and bases for its treatment. We aim to track key steps of heart development to identify what it “remembers” and maintains in its final form as positively selected. A new vision based on the whole acquired knowledge must guide an in-depth scientific approach in future papers and guidelines on the topic and a complete, farsighted therapeutic conduct able to ensure the physiological correction of cardiac pathologies. The application of this modern, functional vision of the heart could improve the clinical treatment of heart disease, filling the gaps still present.

  • Surgical Ventricular Restoration
    Surgical Ventricular Restoration Policy # 00184 Original Effective Date: 01/26/2006 Current Effective Date: 06/14/2021 Applies to all products administered or underwritten by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana and its subsidiary, HMO Louisiana, Inc.(collectively referred to as the “Company”), unless otherwise provided in the applicable contract. Medical technology is constantly evolving, and we reserve the right to review and update Medical Policy periodically. Services Are Considered Investigational Coverage is not available for investigational medical treatments or procedures, drugs, devices or biological products. Based on review of available data the Company considers surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) for the treatment of ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy to be investigational.* Policy Guidelines Surgical ventricular restoration involves increased physician work compared with standard ventriculectomy. For example, the procedure includes evaluation of the ventricular septum and reshaping of the geometry of the heart. Surgical ventricular restoration is described as a global treatment of left ventricular failure, while conventional left ventricular aneurysmectomy represents a local treatment of a transmural infarct. Background/Overview Surgical ventricular restoration is also known as surgical anterior ventricular endocardial restoration, left ventricular reconstructive surgery, endoventricular circular plasty, or the Dor procedure. Named after the surgeon who pioneered the expansion of techniques for ventricular reconstruction and is credited with treating heart failure patients with SVR and coronary artery bypass grafting. SVR is usually performed after coronary artery bypass grafting and may precede or be followed by mitral valve repair or replacement and other procedures such as endocardectomy and cryoablation for treatment of ventricular tachycardia. A key difference between SVR and ventriculectomy (ie, for aneurysm removal) is that, in SVR, circular “purse string” suturing is used around the border of the aneurysmal scar tissue.

This surgical approach to the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) (also known as the Batista procedure, cardio-reduction, or left ventricular remodeling surgery) is primarily directed at patients with an underlying non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

  • Surgical Treatment of Ischemic Heart Failure the Dor Procedure
    REVIEW Cardiovascular Surgery Circ J 2009; Suppl A: A-1 – A-5 Surgical Treatment of Ischemic Heart Failure The Dor Procedure Marisa Di Donato, MD*,**; Serenella Castelvecchio, MD*; Lorenzo Menicanti, MD* Despite the improvements in the treatment of myocardial infarction that have translated into a decline in mortality rates, the incidence of heart failure has increased and, because of the limited number of cardiac donors, non- transplant heart surgery has developed in the past 10 years. Surgical ventricular reconstruction was launched by Dor and defined as endoventricular circular patch plasty repair. It represents a relatively novel surgical approach aiming to restore (bring back to normal) the dilated, distorted left ventricular (LV) cavity in order to improve function. The term ‘surgical ventricular reconstruction/restoration’ includes operative methods that reduce LV volume and restore its shape. The concept of reducing wall stress through surgical restoration of chamber size and geometry remains the guiding principle behind this innovative technique. Results from different Institutions are uniform and show an improvement in cardiac and clinical status and in survival. The present review will approach the rationale to re-shape the heart on the basis of pathophysiology and cardiac architecture, and will describe the efficacy of the Dor procedure in ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as some technical aspects and patient selection pathway.

  • (Dor Operation) in a Patient with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Severe Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
    Case Aortic Valve Replacement Combined with Endoventricular Circulatory Patch Plasty Report (Dor Operation) in a Patient with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Severe Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Kei Horiguchi, MD, Shigeaki Ohtake, MD, Goro Matsumiya, MD, Yoshiki Sawa, MD, Motonobu Nishimura, MD, Hisashi Satou, MD,* Nobuyoshi Kawai, MD, and Hikaru Matsuda, MD A 58-year-old woman with ischemic cardiomyopathy and aortic valve stenosis, underwent aortic valve replacement and simultaneous endoventricular circulatory patch plasty (Dor operation). She underwent coronary artery bypass grafting for severe triple vessel disease 10 years ago. Recently she started to show severe congestive heart failure. Aortic valve stenosis with a pressure gradient of 85-mmHg was also found. Coronary bypasses were all patent, but the left ventricle (LV) was severery dilated (LVDd/Ds=71/61 mm) and the ischemic car- diomyopathy was considered as the cause. She successfully underwent aortic valve replace- ment and endoventricular circulatory patch plasty. The initial postoperative course was complicated with intractable ventricular arrhythmia, but the subsequent course was smooth and the patient was discharged with improved symptoms (New York Heart Association, NYHA Class II). Postoperative catheterization showed decreased left ventricular volume and improved contractility. This case implies the role of LV remodeling procedure in the ischemic cardiomyopathy combined with aortic valve lesion.
