ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: In 1996, the Brazilian cardiovascular surgeon, Dr.Randas Batista, introduced a surgical technique called partial left ventriculectomy, where he admitted the Exercise training does not improve myocardial diastolic tissue velocities in Type 2 diabetes possibility of reducing the diameter of the left ventricle through the sectioning of one section of its wall.After the publication of this study, thousands of case reports and procedure analysis have been published, and due to several disappointing results, many doctors and institutions failed to execute it.
As the main objective of this study, stands out the search for success cases of ventriculectomy in the last 12 years and if during this period it was achieved some significant development in this procedure that allows obtaining lower mortality rate postoperatively.METHODS: Systematic review of indexed scientific literature over the past 12 years and the term "Partial Left Ventriculectomy".RESULTS: Thinking and acting ‘outside the box’: digital game and production of pedagogical affectations in teacher training There has been a considerable number of reported successful cases and highly significant findings in regard to determining the most suitable region for the section, proper selection of the patients indicated to the procedure, including the influence of the coronary artery anatomy in the nomination procedure and the need for preservation of ventricular geometry to ensure better quality of ventricular contractions after the sectioning.
CONCLUSION: This surgical procedure has been successfully performed, mainly in Japan, improvements in its efficiency were found and the need for a mathematical modeling of the slice to be severed is a prominent factor in many studies.
