title: Effective cardiac resynchronization after Dor procedure and mitral annuloplasty.
abstract: Endoventricular circular patch plasty (Dor ventriculoplasty) is an effective strategy for severely impaired left ventricular function due to ischemic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves cardiac function in patients with severe congestive heart failure and an intraventricular conduction delay. The present case demonstrates the efficacy of adding cardiac resynchronization to Dor ventriculoplasty and mitral annuloplasty in a patient with severely impaired left ventricular function and an intraventricular conduction delay.
