The Batista procedure, also known as a Batista operation or partial left ventriculectomy (PLV), was an experimental heart procedure that proposed the reversal of the effects of remodeling in cases of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy refractory to conventional medical therapy. The operation involves removing a slice of living tissue from an enlarged heart, then stitching together the beating heart, to allow the left ventricle to contract more efficiently.
