Abstract
A 70-year-old male patient with heart failure resulting from dilated cardiomyopathy underwent a partial left ventriculectomy between the papillary muscles and a newly devised transventricular mitral annuloplasty. Intraoperative transesophageal Doppler echocardiography revealed reduced ventricular dimensions and corrected mitral insufficiency with unchanged ventricular filling patterns, allowing prompt recovery despite unchanged myocardial pathology.Entities:
