%X Surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) procedures have been developed; howeve<span>r, their</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span>long-term effectiveness remains controversial. Although a series of endoventricular spiral plication (ESP) ha</span><span>s</span><span> been rarely reported and its long prognosis is still unknown</span><span>;</span><span> this method has a unique concept of left ventricular (LV) restoration
without artificial patch materials. Here, we describe the case of</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span>a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and ischemic mitral regurgitation who successfully</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span>underwent ESP, mitral valve repair,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span>and coronary artery bypass grafting. ESP was effective in papillary muscle approximation for avoiding heart failure; however, the noted</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span>improvement of LV wall thickening might be temporary.</span>
