Description: An operation that uses stimulated latissimus dorsi muscle (SKELETAL MUSCLE VENTRICLE) to assist cardiac function. The latissimus dorsi muscle is mobilized from the chest wall and moved into the thorax through the bed of the resected 2nd or 3rd rib. The muscle is then wrapped around the left and right ventricles and stimulated to contract during cardiac systole by means of an implanted burst-stimulator. (Stedman, 26th ed)

1.	Heart Failure 12/01/1994 - "When the efficacy of dynamic cardiomyoplasty is proven by the phase III study, which has been going on in the centers of North and South Americas, it will be useful as a bridge to heart transplantation, or as one of the surgical treatment modalities for advanced heart failure." 07/01/2000 - "Quality of life is substantially improved with significant reduction of heart failure symptoms (New York Heart Association class: preoperative 3.0 +/- 0.0, post-demand dynamic cardiomyoplasty 1.5 +/- 0.2, p < 0.0001)" 01/01/1990 - "Dynamic cardiomyoplasty significantly improved hemodynamic function during induced heart failure with better improvement by multiple (burst) stimulation as compared with single stimulation" 02/01/1994 - "Direct ventricular assist and myocardial replacement using skeletal muscle, so-called dynamic cardiomyoplasty, are promised as an effective treatment of choice in severe cardiac failure" 02/01/1995 - "Dynamic cardiomyoplasty is a promising new technique that appears to effect symptomatic improvement in patients with NYHA class III heart failure" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Cardiomyopathies (Cardiomyopathy) 08/01/1992 - "The great clinical improvement and positive changes in left ventricular parameters suggest that cardiomyoplasty is useful in the treatment of some cases of dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy as an alternative to heart transplantation" 11/15/1994 - "In a dog with advanced dilatative cardiomyopathy, dynamic cardiomyoplasty resulted in improvement in clinical status and systolic function" 05/01/2003 - "The aim of this study is to present the first clinical report and long-term results of RV dynamic cardiomyoplasty applied in patients with RV failure caused by isolated RV cardiomyopathies" 01/01/1997 - "OBJECTIVE: The main goal of this study is to determine the efficiency of the cardiomyoplasty procedure on patients with cardiomyopathy of different origins (ischemic and idiopathic origins)" 06/01/1989 - "In conclusion, this study suggests that cardiomyoplasty may be an alternative method of treatment for irreversible cardiomyopathy, including in patients with a great cardiac enlargement in which muscle flap may only be wrapped partially around the heart."
