We describe a case of 64-year-old female patient with ventricular tachycardia intractable to medical treatment and acute heart failure following myocardial infarction. Emergency surgical ventricular reconstruction and subendocardial resection was undertaken. We discuss the option of surgical intervention in this difficult and unusual clinical scenario.

Ligoniai ir metodai Retrospektyvinei analizei tikslingai atrinkti 37 pacientai (32 vyrai, vidutinis amžius 59 ± 10,5 m.), sergantys IŠN ir KS išvarymo frakcija (IF) < 30%, kuriems buvo atlikta KSR ir AVJ suformavimo operacija. Po persirgto Q bangos priekinio miokardo infarkto buvo praėję vidutiniškai 5,8 ± 3,3 mėnesio. Vidutinė NYHA klasė buvo 3,4 ± 1,3. KS funkcijos rodikliai buvo apskaičiuoti dobutamino echokardiografijos tyrimo ramybės (r) ir mažos dobutamino dozės (mdd) metu: diastolinio skersmens indeksas – DDI cm/m² (r), IF (%) (r), sienos judėjimo indeksas – SJIr ir SJImdd, asinergijos plotas (Aproc.)

Patients and methods This retrospective study selected 37 consecutive patients (32 men, mean age 59 ± 10.5 years) who underwent surgical ventricular reconstruction with associated coronary grafting, and preoperative left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction < 30% (mean, 25 ± 4.6%). The mean New York Heart Association (NYHA) class before operation was 3.4 ± 1.3. The time-frame of the large anterior myocardial infarction was 5.8 ± 3.3 months. LV systolic function was assessed by echo-dobutamine: the wall motion score index at rest (WMSIr), WMSI and the extent of LV asynergy (A%) during low-dose dobutamine (ldd). In-hospital mortality was 13.5%. After one-year, the mean functional NYHA class was 2.2 ± 1.1, and at one-year the mortality was 6.25%. Results Logistic regression analysis and the Proportional Odds model showed that LV A% during ldd (OR 0.86, p = 0.0086) was an independent predictor for the one-year postoperative functional NYHA class. Conclusions The preoperative extent of left ventricular asynergy during echo-dobutamine can predict the expectation of functional NYHA class improvement in patients with a severe ischemic heart failure one-year following surgical ventricular reconstruction with associated coronary grafting. Key words: ischemic heart failure, surgical ventricular reconstruction

: Optimal management of heart failure is collaborative, with involvement of specialist heart failure physicians, nurses, interventionalists and surgeons. In addition to medical optimisation and cardiac resynchronisation therapy, surgery plays a valuable role in many patients. We herein detail the evidence behind and role for surgical intervention in functional mitral regurgitation, coronary revascularisation in ischaemic cardiomyopathy, and surgical ventricular reconstruction. Additionally, we describe techniques of temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, with their relative advantages and disadvantages and applications. Finally, we describe the history and nomenclature around heart transplant, its indications, techniques, present-day outcomes, complications, and new developments in the field.

The increase in left ventricular volume after a myocardial infarction is a component of the remodelling process leading to heart failure and it is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Hence, the current management strategy for ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction has been aimed to reverse the remodelling process by medical therapy, devices and/or surgical strategies. Surgical ventricular reconstruction, usually combined with myocardial revascularization, has been introduced as an optional therapeutic strategy aimed to reduce the left ventricle through the exclusion of the scar tissue. Surgical ventricular reconstruction is recommended in selected heart failure patients, especially if a postoperative left ventricular end-systolic volume index less than 70 mL/m2 can be predictably achieved, because a smaller residual volume is associated with improved survival. This chapter briefly discusses the rationale to surgically reverse left ventricular remodelling, the technique, and the indications to the best of the authors’ knowledge, coming from one of the centres with the most experience in SVR worldwide.
