We analyze retrospectively the short- and long-term results of coronary artery bypass surgery in 50 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction operated in a period of 11 years. Sixty-six percent of patients had unstable angina and 12% of total presented angina post-acute postmyocardial infarction. Thirty-eight percent of patients were in preoperative functional class III-IV of NYHA. Three-vessel disease was present in 70% of the patients, two-vessel in 30%, and the main trunk was affected in 12% of the global. Hospital mortality was 4% (2/50) due to low cardiac output syndrome. Follow-up was available in all the survivors and ranged 6 months-11 years (mean: 4.8 +/- 3.1). During follow-up, 13 patients died, but in only six was due to cardiac cause. The 35 patients followed were in functional class I-II of NYHA. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were angina free at follow-up. Actuarial analysis, after exclusion of 3 patients who died of causes no directly related to the heart, showed an intrahospital survival rates of 96%; at first year was 92, at 3rd was 78%, and 5th year survival rates were 75%. In conclusion, patients with symptomatic angina and preoperative severe left ventricular dysfunction, coronary artery bypass graft has a low hospital mortality, is effective in improving angina and heart failure, and the long-term survival is acceptable.
