Surgical Ventricular Restoration

The majority of heart failure is caused by ischemic disease associated with ventricular dilatation. The predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in congestive heart failure is ventricular dilatation.

Surgical Ventricular Restoration, SVR, is an operation for the dilated ventricle following anterior infarction. SVR excludes either akinetic or dyskinetic segments to reduce ventricular volume.

Benefits of SVR

- Reduced left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI)
- Improved ejection fraction
- Low rehospitalization for CHF
- Substantial improvement in NYHA functional class
- High survival at three years
