Abstract
Recent experimental studies have shown that cardiomyoplasty using the right latissimus dorsi provides excellent hemodynamic augmentation. Based on these experimental findings, this procedure was performed in a 40-year-old man with a dilated cardiomyopathy after a large myocardial infarction. The patient tolerated the procedure well and has had marked functional improvement. Examination 6 months after operation demonstrated decreases in right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and left ventricular end-diastolic volume. In addition, increases were noted in cardiac output, stroke volume, left ventricular stroke-work, right ventricular ejection fraction, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Because of this promising clinical result, we have started a series of right latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasties for left ventricular failure.
