Long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft with or without surgical ventricular reconstruction in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic myocardial infarction (MI) and severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction have poor clinical outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) leads to further improvement in long-term patient outcomes compared with isolated CABG (I-CABG).

Methods

From April 2010 to June 2013, 140 consecutive patients with chronic MI and severe LV dysfunction who received contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CE-CMR) within 1 month before surgery were enrolled in this study. The cardiovascular events (CVEs) and long-term survival of patients who underwent CABG and SVR were compared with those who met the criteria for SVR but received I-CABG.
