title: Eight years survival after partial left ventriculectomy.
abstract: Remodelling the left ventricle by partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) has been proposed as an alternative surgical treatment for end-stage heart failure. We present the case of a patient with dilated idiopathic cardiomyopathy who underwent PLV and remains in NYHA functional Class I eight years after the surgery.
