This video describes the technique of left ventricular reconstruction using realignment of papillary muscles without resection of viable myocardium in patients with heart failure and a dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy. The left ventricular reconstruction is a simple and safe procedure. The result of this procedure in a small cohort of patients has shown that it improves ventricular function and leads to reversed remodeling.
