    Patients with impaired ventricular function undergoing bypass surgery have high operative mortality with complete repair but similar long-term outcomes. Individual assessment is crucial for treatment decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Impaired ventricular function poses significant risks for patients undergoing cardiac procedures.
    • Ejection fraction is a key metric for assessing ventricular condition.
    • Coronary artery disease often necessitates bypass surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of bypass surgery on patients with impaired ventricular function.
    • To compare outcomes between complete and incomplete revascularization in this high-risk group.
    • To determine the influence of ventricular ejection fraction on surgical results.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 80 patients with impaired ventricular function assessed by ventriculography.
    • Classification of patients into groups based on ejection fraction (<0.2, 0.2-0.4, 0.4-0.6).

  • Analysis of vessel suitability for bypass and collateral circulation from cinearteriograms.

    • Main Results:

    • Operative mortality was 7% for complete repair versus 30% for incomplete repair.
    • Late mortality did not significantly differ; 75% with complete repair and 65% with incomplete repair showed clinical improvement.
    • Collateral circulation and vessel suitability were considered potential influencing factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients with impaired ventricular contractility are high-risk surgical candidates.
    • Complete bypass repair in this cohort has a high operative mortality but does not improve long-term outcomes compared to incomplete repair.
    • Individualized patient evaluation is essential for determining suitability for bypass surgery, avoiding categorical denial of treatment.
