title: Partial replacement of the left ventricular free wall with a Dacron graft: a 14 year follow-up.
abstract: The 14 year follow-up is presented of a patient in whom the free wall of the left ventricle was replaced with a Dacron graft subsequent to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The excellent surgical results are evidenced by a benign clinical course and confirmed physiologically by serial exercise tests and anatomically by repeat angiocardiography.
