Partial Left Ventriculectomy (Batista operation) for severe dilated cardiomyopathy

Endstage DCM, not candidate for heart transplantation, was referred for PLV. LV diastolic dimension is 85mm, EF was less than 20%. The video demonstrated the operative technique for reconstructing elipsoid-shape neo-LV. And its outcome.

@The314martinez Which is always really bad. But you can't blame the doc. Its a serious procedure. 1 slip up and the person dies.

@Scorinitron However, the procedure is very very difficult. As a matter of fact, it's been banned in the United States. Also, in the 3 years that they used this procedure, only 74% of the time, something went wrong. Also, only 60% of the people this has been preformed on have survived. Most hospitals have completely stopped using the batista for a while now.

@Scorinitron Ok so basically, this operation is called the batista procedure. They took away a part of the left ventricle of the heart. This is because the actual muscle of that part of the heart has been stretched too much. And when something stretches, it gets weaker and it gets bigger. So, since it got bigger, the contraction of the heart isn't as strong. Basically, they take away a chunk because there is too much muscle that isn't strong anymore. Hope I helped.
