Cardiac transplantation is an excellent surgical option that offers positive results for many patients with end stage heart failure (Large 1995). However, the availability of donor hearts does not meet the demand, resulting in the exclusion of patients who, for example, are more than 60 years old and for whom transplantation is contraindicated. Dynamic cardiomyoplasty has been developed to help such a client group.
心脏移植是一种出色的外科手术选择,对许多终末期心力衰竭患者都能产生积极效果(拉格,1995年)。然而,供体心脏的供应无法满足需求,导致一些患者被排除在外,比如60岁以上且有移植禁忌证的患者。动态心肌成形术就是为帮助这类患者群体而研发的。
