The<unk>  is a medical technique used as part of heart surgery and originally introduced by the French cardiac surgeon Vincent<unk>  (b.1932). It is also known as endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP). In 1985,<unk>  introduced EVCPP as a viable method for restoring a dilated left ventricle (LV) to its normal, elliptical geometry. The<unk>  uses a circular suture and a Dacron patch to correct LV aneurysms and exclude scarred parts of the septum and ventricular wall and would prove to be the best option amongst the other methods of ventricular remodeling, i.e. Cooley’s linear suturing and Jatene’s circular external suturing. EVCPP is a relatively easy procedure that covers all aspects of successful heart restoration—restores ventricular shape, increases ejection fraction, decreases the left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI), and allows for complete coronary revascularization.
