From 4/1986-12/1990, 177 pts. with endstage coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular ejection fraction 10-30% received coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Preoperatively myocardial infarction rate was 1.5 (mean). Presupposition for CABGs was myocardial ischaemia at present demonstrated in myocardial viability test. 66.1% of the pts. had signs of ischaemia at e.c.g. after work. Additionally 97.6% of the pts. had myocardial ischaemia defined as redistribution in myocardial scintigraphy. Angina pectoris was present in 93.8% of the pts. preoperatively. 1-5 (mean 2.9) CABG per pt. were performed. 35 pts. received an internal mammaria bypass to the left coronary artery also. Operative mortality was 11.3% (1986-1990) and in 1990 alone 7.3%. Actuarial survival rate was calculated after one year to 87.4% after two years to 86.1% and after three years to 84.8%. Postoperatively all pts. were free from angina pectoris. 5 months after the operation e.c.g. after work was performed. The physical stress bearing area was increased to 82.7 Watt (mean) compared to 51.7 Watt (mean) preoperatively (p less than 0.001 s.). In conclusion pts. with endstage CAD and left ventricular ejection fraction 10-30% appeared to be good candidates for CABG with good prognosis and significant symptomatic improvement when signs of myocardial ischaemia are present preoperatively.
