The effectiveness of the left ventricle (LV) geometry reconstruction (Dor procedure) as the method of surgical treatment of LV post-infarction aneurysm and large dilated myocardial scars is well established. The efficacy of LV restoration in cases of globally dilated hypofunctional LV, containing the same spherical architecture as scarred, remains questionable.
