Abstract

Surgical ventricular reconstruction is a proven option for treating patients who have heart failure due to a postinfarction scar or an aneurysm of the left ventricle. The BioVentrix Revivent TC System offers a reliable alternative to the conventional, more invasive surgical ventricular restoration. The system requires no sternotomy, no heart-lung machine, and no cardioplegic arrest. In this video tutorial, we present our technique for using the Revivent TC System to reconstruct the normal left ventricular shape and volume in a patient with a postinfarction, anteroapical scar.
