Clinical/functional evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricle repair in CHD patients with expressed left ventricle dysfunction

The paper focuses on the analysis of randomized study focused on surgical treatment of CHD patients with pronounced dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) and ejection fraction (EF) of less than 35 %. Immediate and long-term results, level of hospital lethality and 3-year survival of patients with isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and LV repair in combination with CABG in CHD patients with pronounced LV dysfunction are presented. LV repair in combination with myocardium revascularization is thought to be the most appropriate technique for surgical treatment of chronic cardiac insufficiency (CCI).
