Ventriculotomy (Cardiac)

A ventriculotomy is a heart surgery that involves an incision into one or both ventricles, used as a component of various cardiac procedures including infarctectomy and surgery for congenital heart defects. The incision carries potential long-term complications, including an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia, and an extensive right ventriculotomy frequently results in right bundle branch block, though contemporary surgical techniques have substantially reduced these adverse outcomes.
