The Dor procedure, also called endoventricular circular patch plasty, is a technique used as part of heart surgery, originally introduced by French cardiac surgeon Vincent Dor, to address a dilated left ventricle caused by a myocardial infarction. It restores the heart's normal elliptical shape using a circular suture and a Dacron patch to repair a ventricular aneurysm and exclude scarred tissue.

What did the STICH trial say about the surgery used in the Dor procedure?
The European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, in an article by Adhyapak and Parachuri, states: "The recently concluded STICH trial has stated that surgical restoration of the left ventricle does not benefit this subgroup of patients clinically as compared with revascularization alone. The reasons for failure of this trial are multifactorial. The technique of surgical ventricular restoration employed in the STICH trial was circular endoventricular patch plasty."
