Surgical revascularization in @entity1 with @entity453 and severe @entity1002 is a common practice and poses a surgical challenge. From September 2002 to May 2004, 50 @entity1 (47 @entity1 and 3 @entity1 ; mean age, 59 +/- 9 years) with a mean preoperative ejection fraction of 19.7% +/- 3.2% underwent surgical revascularization. The mean EuroSCORE was 7.2 +/- 3.4. Indications for surgery were @entity712 in 8 @entity1 (16%), angina in 20 (40%), @entity943 in 4 (8%), and critical @entity66 in 12 (24%). Twenty-two @entity1 (44%) had emergency surgery for critical anatomy and unstable symptoms. The number of grafts per @entity1 was 3.7 +/- 0.8. Seventeen @entity1 (34%) required intra-aortic balloon pump support, 16 (32%) needed pacing, and 48 (96%) had inotropic support postoperatively. Morbidity included re-operation for @entity548 (2%), @entity810 (10%), hemodialysis (4%), and @entity177 (4%). Postoperative (4.9 +/- 3.7 months) 2-dimentional echocardiography was available in 18 @entity1 of whom 11 (61%) showed improved left ventricular function (range, 5% to 45%). Thirty-day hospital mortality was 8%. These data indicate that surgical revascularization can be performed safely with acceptable hospital mortality in high-risk @entity1 with severe @entity1002 .
