“…Applying this principle, the Dor's procedure resulted in the increase of LVEF by 12.5% and so as the life expectancy of patients [95]. Recently, Ferrazzi et al introduced the “horseshoe repair” procedure to preserve left ventricular compliance, which resulted in the increase of LVEF by 20% after 6.9 months followup [96]. The results of these surgical procedures highlight the important role of the structure of the left ventricle in myocardial infarction.…”

Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death in developed countries. Cardiac cell therapy has been introduced to clinical trials for more than ten years but its results are still controversial. Tissue engineering has addressed some limitations of cell therapy and appears to be a promising solution for cardiac regeneration. In this review, we would like to summarize the current understanding about the therapeutic effect of cell therapy and tissue engineering under purview of functional and structural aspects, highlighting actual roles of each therapy towards clinical application.

“…The technique for SVR included the implantation of an oval bovine pericardial or Dacron patch, or a modified Dor procedure with no internal patch, or linear closure when the residual area was small [6,7]. Associated longitudinal septal plication with interrupted sutures as described by other groups [8,9] was performed in 10 cases, both in patients receiving (8/10) or not receiving (2/10) an intracavitary patch. The overcoat Guilmet technique was employed to close the ventriculotomy in two patients.…”

“…We were unable to outline the benefits of adjunctive longitudinal septal plication. However, although HF is reversed by the Dor procedure [22], the latter produces a less elliptical neo-LV compared with its modified approaches aimed at the creation of a longer and more conical LV cavity, with or without implantation of a patch [6,8,9,11,[22][23][24]. Similarly, a recent review was unable to clearly define the benefits of linear versus patch SVR techniques [25].…”

Despite advanced cardiomyopathy, SVR determines left ventricular volume reduction and improved systolic function. Baseline absent-to-moderate mitral regurgitation and a more spherical left ventricular geometry predict a less favourable clinical and functional outcome, suggesting a possible rationale for wider indications for combined correction of 2+ mitral regurgitation and undersizing of the mitral annulus, particularly in patients with sphericity index > or =0.75.

“…This is called "diastolic balloon sizing". Ferrazzi et al have proposed a modifi cation of Dor procedure called "horseshoe repair" [18]. In this procedure, two parallel purse string sutures placed in a horseshoe pattern reduce ventricular volume without patch plasty, reducing the amount of foreign material introduced into the heart.…”

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 haemodynamic changes that occur after SVR. We also compile the reported factors affecting surgical outcome, criteria for patient selection and predictors of postoperative mortality. NYHA class, presence of diastolic failure, severe impairment of contractile function and presence of mitral regurgitation were the most important determinants. Various different procedures for achieving SVR are briefl y discussed. Importance of mitral valve repair/replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting and intraoperative echocardiography in improving postoperative result is highlighted. Role of perioperative medication (anti-arrhythmics, ACE inhibitors and β-blockers) is briefl y studied at the end of the review.
