Abstrakt     Partial left ventriculectomy is based on Laplace's law; reducing the left ventricular diameter should result in decrement of myocardial wall - stress. The early postoperative echocardiographic changes are showing immediate increase in ejection fraction with little alteration of stroke volume. On the basis of original surgical technique, some modifications are emerging, including different approaches to the mitral valve repair. The anatomicosurgical basis for segmental reduction of left ventricle was made by experimental marginal artery ligation, corresponding myocardial infarction and it's excision.
