Abstract
- The end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy is usually treated with cardiac transplantation although some limited success have also been obtained in selected patients using dynamic cardiomyoplasty or medical assist devices. Recently, a new surgical alternatives, called partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) was introduced by Randas J. V Batista in 1995. A 40-year-old man who had end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy refractory to optimal doses of medicines underwent partial left ventriculectomy (Batista's operation), which reduces ventricular volume to improve left ventricular function. The left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 20 % to 58 % at 4 month after operation.
