Modified DOR Procedure (Left Ventricular Reconstruction)
Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and an akinetic (loss of movement) or dyskinetic (abnormal movement) anterior wall may be candidates for high-risk coronary bypass surgery with a modified DOR procedure. This procedure helps restore the normal geometry of the left ventricle, thereby improving symptoms of left ventricular failure and chest pain.
