This report deals with the first experience with endoventricular patch plasty in patients suffering from left ventricular aneurysm. The early postoperative results in 18 patients operated upon during January and May 1995 are encouraging. All patients survived the procedure. In contrast to patients operated on according to a linear resection technique the postoperative outcome and the early results are much better with this technique. We recommend the endoventricular patch plasty on a beating heart.

We describe a technique to repair ischemic ventricular septal rupture via a left ventriculotomy. It employs a large endoventricular patch as a "lining" over the locally patched septal defect and the free wall defect which is going to be roofed with an external patch. Both defects are then closed in double layers, holding a single continuous patch.

Although during recent decades the prompt clinical management of myocardial infarction has significantly reduced the incidence of mechanical complications, post-infarction heart failure is still an open issue. The surgical ventricular reconstruction technique, also called the "Dor procedure", was introduced as a surgical strategy to reduce left ventricular volume and restore its shape and function by performing an endoventricular circular patch plasty. Although its use was not clearly beneficial, there is growing evidence from specialized centres suggesting its safety and efficacy, thus bringing this technique back to a leading role in the surgical armamentarium to treat patients with heart failure.

Cardiac rupture, such as ventricular free-wall rupture, ventricular septal perforation, and papillary muscle rupture, is a life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction. Herein, we report a very rare case of combining these three types of ventricular rupture. A 71-year-old woman underwent mitral valve replacement and left ventricular free-wall rupture repair after an acute myocardial infarction.

Objectives: This study aimed to report the clinical outcomes of continuous flow left ventricular assist device implantation in end-stage chronic heart failure patients with a history of surgical left ventricular restoration.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 190 patients undergoing continuous flow left ventricular assist device implantation at our center from November 2007 to April 2020. In total, six patients underwent continuous flow left ventricular assist device implantation after various types of surgical left ventricular restoration procedures, including endoventricular circular patch plasty (n = 3), posterior restoration procedure (n = 2), and septal anterior ventricular exclusion (n = 1).

The left ventricular aneurysm is a pathological condition defined as an akinetic or dyskinetic area of the left ventricle (LV) wall associated with reduced ejection fraction. The most common surgical technique to reconstruct a left ventricular aneurysm is endoventricular patch plasty (Dor procedure). In this case, endoventricular reconstruction of the left ventricular aneurysm using a double-layer extracellular matrix was performed.
