Abstract
There are a myriad of surgical therapies for patients with end-stage congestive heart failure. Coronary revascularization and mitral valve repair have clear clinical benefits in appropriately selected patients. Further investigation is required before the widespread adoption of volume-reduction strategies. Cardiac stem cell therapies have yielded promising results in preclinical and phase I studies.
