Beneficial effects of endoventricular circular patch plasty in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and left ventricular dyskinetic or akinetic apical segment
Abstract:Background: Available data on the efficiency of endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP) especially from Asian Indians are limited. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of endoventricular circular patch plasty along with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: Patients having ischemic left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction [LV ejection fraction (LVEF)<25%] with left ventricular dyskinetic or akinetic apical segement [as depicted by two dimensional (2D) echoc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
