Review of surgical ventricular restoration: A procedure to treat cardiac failure [PDF]
Severe heart failure refractory to medical treatment necessitates the use of other modalities of treatment. Surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) surgery can provide relief until donour hearts are available or when transplantation is contraindicated. In this review we look at the physiological basis for improvement in cardiac function and cardiac and ...
