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.
