Batista's operation: what have we learned?
Partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) was initially performed by Brazilian surgeon Randas Batista (1) with the rationale that resection of a viable “slice” of the lateral left ventricular (LV) wall in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) would reduce LV diameter and therefore wall stress (2). Although early results with this procedure in uncontrolled trials were promising and generated signi...
متن کاملWhat Have We Learned?
FIVE YEARS AFTER THE INSTITUTE of Medicine (IOM) reported that as many as 98 000 people die annually as the result of medical errors and called for a national effort to make health care safe, it is time to assess our progress. Is health care safer now? And, if not, why not? The IOM’s report, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, galvanized a dramatically expanded level of conversatio...
متن کاملFontan operation after 3 decades: what we have learned.
T he Fontan operation was designed to provide blood flow in series to the pulmonary and systemic circulation without the requirement for a right ventricular pumping chamber. The operation allows systemic venous blood to flow directly into the pulmonary circulation on the basis of a single ventricular impetus through the arteries, capillaries, and systemic venous system.

متن کاملGOAL: What Have We Learned?
A recent study entitled “Can Guideline-Defined Asthma Control Be Achieved?”1 stands out as one of the most noteworthy clinical studies of the past year because of the important concepts it confirms and because of the many significant questions it raises. Published online in July 2004 and in print in October of the same year, it is referred to by most as the GOAL trial (from the now familiar acr...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Ischemia/Reperfusion-induced Myocardial Injury: What We Have Learned From Preconditioning and Postconditioning?
Organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. The pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. Protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. In this review, we discuss basic mechan...
