Cardiomyoplasty is a new surgical procedure using transformed skeletal muscle to reinforce or substitute for the myocardium. For the purpose of studying surgical technique and investigating basic questions, we have developed a model of reinforcement cardiomyoplasty. Herein, we describe anesthetic management, surgical technique, and the technique for iterative transthoracic biopsies. This model has proven to be valuable in several long-term studies involving more than 30 goats. Preliminary data to ascertain the efficacy of the proposed technique are provided.

Cardiomyoplasty is a wrapping of an electrostimulated latissimus dorsi muscle flap around the heart for substitution and/or reinforcement. The surgical technique for reproducible cardiomyoplasties in the goat model is presented. The methods combine the direction of wrapping (clockwise, counter-clockwise) and the orientation of muscle fibers. A cardiomyoplasty model using right and left latissimus dorsi or left latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major as well as a split muscle technique are illustrated.
