Intracardiac Radical Correction (IRC) according to Barnard is an important step in the treatment of heart defects with left ventricular stenosis in adult patients. This procedure consists of surgical correction of aneurysm and valvular regurgitation in the left atrium, as well as the elimination of various structures responsible for myocardial ischemia - strengthening the left atrium wall, correcting chordal stenosis and implanting dilatation devices to prevent subsequent worsening of coronary insufficiency.
