ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the mid- and long-term results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Methods Between January 1988 and December 2002, 34 cases with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 0.30 underwent CABG. They were aged 41 to 73 years [mean, (58.0?9.4) years], and 30 of them were male. Coronary angiography revealed LVEF was 0.15 to 0.30(mean, 0.27?0.04), and triple-vessel disease in 31 cases, and left main stem disease in 4. Preoperative echocardiographic examinations revealed a mean of left ventricular diastolic dimension (LVDD) (61.5?8.9) mm and LVEF 0.28?0.07. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class was (2.9?0.7). Off-pump CABG was performed in 8 cases. The number of grafts used ranged from 2 to 6 (3.9?0.9). 32 patients (94.1%) were followed up for 3.5 years (with 7.2 years maximum). Results No patients died in hospital. Heart failure as the main postoperative complications were observed in 5 (14.7%) patients. Postoperative echocardiographic examinations revealed a mean LVDD of (55.2?7.1) mm and LVEF of 0.47?0.11. NYHA class was1.9?0.3 postoperatively. In the follow-up period [mean (3.5?1.9) years], 3 patients died. The survival rates were 91.9% at 3 years and 85.7% at 5 years. Functional status improved significant in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction. There was significant improvement in mean NYHA from class 2.9?0.7 to 1.4?0.6 postoperatively. 26 survivors (81.3%) are free of angina. Conclusion Observations suggest that CABG may offer a better quality of life in patients with poor ventricular systolic function in mid- and long-term follow-up. Preoperative management was the key point of the survival advantage.
