ABSTRACT

Surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) procedures have been developed; however, their long-term effectiveness remains controversial. Although a series of endoventricular spiral plication (ESP) has been rarely reported and its long prognosis is still unknown; this method has a unique concept of left ventricular (LV) restoration without artificial patch materials. Here, we describe the case of a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and ischemic mitral regurgitation who successfully underwent ESP, mitral valve repair, and coronary artery bypass grafting. ESP was effective in papillary muscle approximation for avoiding heart failure; however, the noted improvement of LV wall thickening might be temporary.
