Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is a common complication of myocardial infarction. Traditional medical and surgical treatments are not effective or require high doctors' operational skills and patients' physical fitness. With the development of minimally invasive medical devices, it becomes possible for revivent TC system to treat LVA and reconstruct the left ventricle. This study introduces an existing product and its defect when used. From the perspective of clinical needs, we propose a new design of revivent TC system which realizes accurate force measurement and simplifies surgery.

Background: Less Invasive Ventricular Enhancement (LIVE) with Revivent TC is an innovative therapy for symptomatic ischemic heart failure (HF). It is designed to reconstruct a negatively remodeled left ventricle (LV) after an anterior myocardial infarction (MI) by plication of the scar tissue. Its indications are specific, and as with any other structural heart intervention, the success of the procedure starts with appropriate patient selection.

The Revivent TC System (BioVentrix Inc, San Ramon, CA) enables a less invasive approach for left ventricular reshaping and scar exclusion in selected patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Although the system is designed to improve quality of life and to promote reverse remodeling, patients can still progress to end-stage heart failure requiring advanced therapies. This report describes a case of left ventricular assist device surgery in a patient 16 months after Revivent System implantation.

Aims: Surgical ventricular reconstruction to remodel, reshape, and reduce ventricular volume is an effective therapy in selected patients with chronic heart failure (HF) of ischaemic aetiology. The BioVentrix Revivent TC System offers efficacy comparable to conventional surgical ventricular reconstruction and is less invasive utilizing micro-anchor pairs to exclude scarred myocardium on the beating heart. Here, we present 12-months follow-up data of an international multicenter study.
