Percutaneous Left Ventricular Restoration In Chronic Ischemic Heart
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Cardiology and Cardiac Therapy - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Heart failure remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality following myocardial infarction. Progressive cardiac remodeling results in altered shape and geometry of left ventricle (LV) with increased LV end diastolic volume and LV dilatation, reduced ejection fraction (EF) and heart failure. Medical therapy is the mainstay in state of art management of heart failure. However, surgical ventricular restoration to reverse cardiac remodelling has been attempted. More recently percutaneous ventricular restoration using “Parachute device” is emerging as a new strategy for the treatment of ischemic heart failure. The present study aims to present the recent data on this new device.
