“…Cardiomyoplasty may be a final solution or it may be a bridge to a future transplantation [14]. Except for several cases [15], almost all clinical dynamic cardiomyoplasty has been performed on adult patients with ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Thus, it became possible to continuously use a muscle as a contractile element. Experimental investigations were carried out in France and the USA, and cardiomyoplasty was introduced into clinical practice by Carpentier and Chachques and Magovern et al in 1985 [6,7]. Since then, cardiomyoplasty has become more accepted and has now been performed in more than 20 clinics worldwide.…”

“…The concept of electrical transformation of skeletal muscle has also been used with success in improving the function of the failing myocardium. This was achieved by using converted and synchronously paced latissimus dorsi muscle to replace resected myocardium 51 .…”

The sartorius muscle was transposed into the abdominal cavity of six dogs, passed around a Thiry-Vella loop and sutured to itself to form a neosphincter. The muscle was activated by electrical stimulation and on contraction the neosphincter stopped or reduced the flow of saline through the Thiry-Vella loop in all animals until the onset of muscle fatigue. Continuous low frequency stimulation was used to transform the skeletal muscle, and when studied after a mean of 8 weeks of stimulation (range 6-11 weeks) the neosphincter stopped the flow for a significantly longer period of time (P = 0.027). Associated with the improved neosphincter function was a significant decrease in the fusion frequency (P = 0.003) and prolongation of the stimulus-peak tension time as assessed by a strain gauge sutured to the neosphincter muscle (P = 0.002). The changes in the contraction properties of the skeletal muscle suggest that continuous low frequency stimulation transformed the muscle fibres from type 2 to type 1, resulting in improved fatigue resistance and potential for continuous sphincter activity.
