Description
This proceeding of the first Symposium features every aspects of partial
left ventriculectomy, including original concept by
Batista, theoretical
analysis and actual observation using strain gages, pressure-volume
relationship and stress-strain relationship.
These theoretical backgrounds
are followed by clinical experiences by pioneers from Brazil (Batista),
United States (Cleveland Clinic,
Buffalo General Hospital) and others.
i) Original concept outlined by the pioneer, Randas JV Batista, MD.
ii) Basic and
clinical research that shed lights into the mechanism of
the Batista operation.
iii) Clinical experiences by pioneers from Curitiba,
Buffalo and Cleveland.
Despite the fact that cardiac transplantation has been established as
the last measure to resort, there
has been an ever increasing gap between
those who need it and those who actually benefit from it. Partial left
ventriculectomy
has been developed in Brazil to be employed in areas where
heart transplantation has been limited because of donor shortage,
socio-economical
reasons or both, namely in the world to fill the gap.
This proceeding scopes not only the clinical experiences by the pioneers
but also
the theoretical analyses on clinical cases and effects of isolated
mitral valve repairs, focusing the mechanism of action and risk-benefit
of
the epoch-making procedure. The proceeding is designed to fill the gap
between the lay press and scientific publications, that lag
way behind the
interest of physicians, scientists and patients with severe heart failure.
Although the Symposium is the first of such,
it includes either pros or
cons of the procedure, providing invaluable information for cardiologists
and surgeons who are planning to
start the procedure and will be giving
hope for those with heart failure awaiting or rejected from heart
transplantation. The major theme
of this proceeding is to characterisepartial left ventriculectomy as a reparative approach for heart failure as
compared with
current approach, replacing a failing heart with biologic
(heart transplantation) or mechanical pump (artificial heart).
