RESUMEN
On January 8, 1985, Carpentier and his cardiovascular surgery group at the Broussais Hospital were the first to replace diseased human myocardium with a stimulated latissimus dorsi muscle flap. A few months later, Magovern and co-workers at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh were the first to repair a large left ventricular aneurysm with a latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty. Over the past six years, approximately 120 patients have undergone the operation throughout the world.
