Dynamic cardiomyoplasty for heart failure.
In dynamic cardiomyoplasty the latissimus dorsi of the patient is lifted as a pedicle graft, placed in the chest cavity, and the muscle is wrapped around the ventricles of the failing heart.' This muscle undergoes low frequency electrical stimulation for several weeks to confer fatigue resistance. The muscle is then stimulated by a synchronisable burst stimulator to contract during cardiac syst...
متن کاملExperience in heart transplantation after dynamic cardiomyoplasty.
We report a case undergoing heart transplantation due to gradual progression of heart failure four years and one month after dynamic cardiomyoplasty. This case reports a 61-year-old man who received drug therapy after being diagnosed as having idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, but his heart failure progressed to New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV, and heart transplantation was thou...
متن کاملDynamic cardiomyoplasty in patients with end-stage heart failure: anaesthetic considerations.
Dynamic cardiomyoplasty is used increasingly for patients with chronic heart failure, with approximately 500 cases having been performed. The latissimus dorsi muscle is prepared maintaining its vascular supply and the muscle flap is wrapped around the heart and connected to a cardiomyostimulator. The muscle is later stimulated synchronously with ventricular systole to augment the heart. Our exp...
متن کاملStrategies for Examining Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty
Typically, in cardiomyoplasty (CMP) experimental studies, a new intervention is examined only after 3 months of latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) training. We believe that this has been a major mistake. In our approach, we sequentially measured the effects of LDM stimulation in CMP. Our experimental results showed that the effects of LDM stimulation were variable, and that this variability was pres...
متن کاملCellular cardiomyoplasty with autologous skeletal myoblasts for ischemic heart disease and heart failure
Cell transplantation to repair or regenerate injured myocardium is a new frontier in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Even though it is based on many years of pre-clinical studies, much remains to be understood about this methodology, even as it progresses to the clinic. For example, controversies exist over the specific cells to be used, the dosages needed for tissue repair, how cells ...
