Conclusion
With Revivent Transcatheterâ„¢, Left Ventricular Reconstruction is highly feasible, safe and efficacious. The avoidance of median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamping with cardioplegia allows for immediate haemodynamic improvement and shorter recovery and return to normal activities. The volume reduction is comparable to most surgical series and fares much better than the STICH values. Ongoing studies will further demonstrate the value of this approach in this sick group of heart failure patients.
