Reconstrução fisiológica do ventrículo esquerdo: o conceito de máxima redução ventricular e mínima resposta inflamatória

Remodelamento reverso cirúrgico do ventrículo esquerdo: seguimento de 111 meses

“…However, the use of ventricular assist device, intra-aortic balloon was very different (14.3 x 58%), which may explain the difference in immediate mortality, in adittion to the group of Bockeria et al [21] represents only a subgroup of their experience (14/224), which was removed the initial experience. These data differ from those presented by Gomes et al [22], in a group of 11 patients in a limited period in which there was no mortality or use of circulatory assistance.…”

“…When analyzing the survival after 5 years, 82.1 ± 7.2%, it is equal or greater than the majority of the studies [18,20,22,23], so we can affirm that patients who survived surgery presented a very good evolution.…”

Quality of Life after 114 Months of Follow-up following Geometric Reconstruction of the Left Ventricle by Endoventriculoplasty with Septal Exclusion

“…Bockeria et al [2006] reported a mean hospital stay of 21.4 ± 6.9 days for a group of patients with a comparable functional class and a similar ventricular function (NYHA class, 3.6 ± 0.5 versus 3.5 ± 0.3; LVEF, 32.3% ± 9.2% versus 32.9% ± 5.4%); however, these investigators' use of ventricular assistance (intra-aortic balloon pump) was very different from ours (14.3% versus 58%), which may explain the difference in the immediate-mortality rate. The data differ from those presented by Gomes et al [2004] for a group of 11 patients in which there was no mortality or use of circulatory assistance.…”

“…Mean survival at the end of 110 months of follow-up was 54.7% ± 22.9%, which was within the range of values obtained for other patient groups but with a smaller number of patients at risk. Analysis of survival to the end of 5 years yielded a survival rate (82.1% ± 7.2%) that is lower than that obtained by the majority of studies [Dor 2001;Gomes 2004;Sartipy 2005;Adams 2006]. We therefore can say that once patients survived their surgery, patients had very good outcomes.…”
