Primary left ventricular rehabilitation is effective in maintaining two-ventricle physiology in the borderline left heart
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 10/19/09
Emani SM et al. – In patients with borderline left hearts, primary left ventricular rehabilitation with endocardial fibroelastosis resection and mitral and aortic valvuloplasty results in improved left ventricular systolic and diastolic performance and decreased right ventricular pressures.
