title: [Surgical treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: The efficacy and safety of different variants of left ventricular geometrical reconstruction (LVGR) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DKMP) were studied in 2-stage clinical trial during 4 years. Results of left ventricle plication, "Myosplint" surgery and implantation of extracardial net framework (ECNF) complemented with mitral insufficiency correction (in case of need) have been evaluated on the first stage of the study. Based on this study, the implantation of ECNF and correction of mitral insufficiency are recognized as the most effective and safe method of DKMP surgical treatment. Short- and long-term results of these surgical procedures have been studied on the second stage of the study. Overall 30 surgeries of LVGR have been performed (18 on stage 1 and 12 on stage 2 of the study). Hospital lethality on stage 1 was 27%, 4-year actuarial survival rate (taking into account hospital lethality)--54+/-12%. Original protocols of surgical, anesthetic and intensive care management led to decrease of hospital lethality to 8% and an increase of 2-year actuarial survival rate to 91.6+/-7.9% (that significantly higher than in the control group treated with therapeutic methods only).
