title: Left ventricular restoration by endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP).
abstract: The Endoventricular Circular Patch Plasty technique, developed to reorganize the left ventricular cavity after post-ischemic modification, is described as it has been used since 1984. Experience of more than 900 cases demonstrates the efficiency of the technique in terms of left ventricular shape, left ventricular performances and long-term clinical results. Particular attention is focused on very large asynergia with congestive heart failure.
