TI  - Isolated effect of partial left ventriculectomy for dilated cardiomyopathy: a 
      case report.
PG  - 273-7
AB  - A 38-year-old man underwent the Batista operation to treat end-stage dilated 
      cardiomyopathy. There was no associated mitral regurgitation, so only partial 
      left ventriculectomy was performed. The patient recovered successfully. His New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) class improved from IV to I, ejection fraction 
      increased from 8% to 37% and left ventricular diastolic dimension decreased from 
      89 to 68 mm. Cardiac output and stroke volume increased from 3.8 to 6.7 l/min and 
      from 52 to 85 ml/min, respectively. This case shows the isolated positive effect 
      of partial left ventriculectomy without mitral valve reconstruction.
