Impact of Anatomical and Viability-Guided Completeness of Revascularization on Clinical Outcomes in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complete revascularization of coronary artery disease has been linked to improved outcomes in patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) function.

Objectives

This study sought to identify the impact of complete revascularization in patients with severe LV dysfunction.

Methods

Patients enrolled in the REVIVED-BCIS2 (Revascularization for Ischemic Ventricular Dysfunction) trial were eligible if baseline/procedural angiograms and viability studies were available for analysis by independent core laboratories. Anatomical and viability-guided completeness of revascularization were measured by the coronary and myocardial revascularization indices (RI_coro and RI_myo), respectively, where RI_coro = (change in British Cardiovascular
