Abstract
- A 53-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent left ventriculoplasty (Batista procedure), a new surgical procedure, which reduces ventricular volume to improve left ventricular function. Left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 19.7% to 43.7%. Unfortunately, he died of pneumonia 12 days after surgery. This is the first such procedure in a human in Japan.
