Effect of latissimus dorsi dynamic cardiomyoplasty on ventricular function.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Use of endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting has developed into a routine surgical approach at many cardiothoracic surgical centers. The association between this technique and long-term morbidity and mortality has recently been called into question. The present report describes the use of open versus endoscop...
