PG - 886-8 AB - We present here a case of end-stage non-ischemic valvular dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) associated with mitral regurgitation (MR). The patient underwent surgery where left ventricular volume reduction using endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) were performed.
