Pelletier M, Giaid A, Sivaraman S, Dorfman J, Li C, Philip A, et al.
Ann Thorac Surg
. 1998 Aug;
66(1):12-8.
PMID: 9692432
Background: The mechanism by which transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) exerts a beneficial effect remains unknown. We hypothesize that the myocardial punctures of TMR cause a myocardial injury, leading to an angiogenic...

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
. 1998 Jul;
116(1):148-53.
PMID: 9671909
Objective: Because adynamic cardiomyoplasty, or wrapping skeletal muscle around the heart, had been shown to provide a girdling effect and delay progressive ventricular dilatation in heart failure, a similar girdling...

J Card Surg
. 1998 Jun;
12(5):354-9.
PMID: 9635274
Dynamic cardiomyoplasty (DCM) involves the electrical stimulation of a pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap wrapped around the falling ventricle as a means of cardiac assist. To further elucidate a potential...

Mott B, Oh J, Misawa Y, Helou J, Badhwar V, Francischelli D, et al.
Ann Thorac Surg
. 1998 May;
65(4):1039-44; discussion 1044-5.
PMID: 9564924
Background: The apparent paradox seen in patients who have undergone dynamic cardiomyoplasty and shown substantial clinical and functional improvements with only modest hemodynamic changes may be due to inappropriate end...

Ann Thorac Surg
. 1998 May;
65(4):999-1002.
PMID: 9564917
Background: Reexploration of the mediastinum for bleeding is required in 3% to 7% of patients after cardiac operation, with many proving to have no surgically correctable cause. In spite of...

J Heart Lung Transplant
. 1997 Nov;
16(10):1018-25.
PMID: 9361244
Background: Dynamic cardiomyoplasty is an evolving treatment for heart failure that uses an electrically stimulated latissimus dorsi muscle wrapped around the heart to improve cardiac function. Preoperative patient characteristics and...

ASAIO J
. 1997 Nov;
43(5):M651-7.
PMID: 9360126
The development of long term cardiac assist devices is currently limited by the lack of an appropriate totally implantable power source. Transformed fatigue resistant skeletal muscle has been proposed as...

J Heart Lung Transplant
. 1997 Jun;
16(6):585-95.
PMID: 9229287
Background: We hypothesize that the integrity of the latissimus dorsi muscle graft used to wrap the heart may affect the clinical outcome of patients undergoing dynamic cardiomyoplasty. Methods: By correlating...
