Abstract:
As worldwide clinical and experimental data accumulate, a standardized nomenclature for latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty must be accepted and universally applied in order to increase the potential for meaningful and reproducible comparison of results. This article presents a uniform nomenclature for latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty that is precise, anatomic and complete.
