OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the late results of @entity1002 repair. METHODS: From July 1968 to 1999, 86 consecutive @entity1 (74 male, 12 female, mean age 56.0 +/- 9.3) underwent @entity1002 repair at our institute. The surgical methods were as follows; linear repair in 71 @entity1 , endoaneurysmorrhaphy in 5, endoventricular circular plasty in 4, Jatene method in 1 and plication of @entity439 in 5. Thirty-nine @entity1 underwent concomitant myocardial revascularization. Major @entity943 occurred in 38 @entity1 . The results were retrospectively reviewed and follow-up was achieved in 95.3%. RESULTS: There were 6 operative deaths and 4 hospital deaths. Actuarial survival rate including the 10 deaths was 72.7% at 5 years and 46.3% at 10 years. In @entity1 with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), survival rate was 82.2% at 5 years and 56.3% at 10 years, and was significantly higher than that in those without revascularization (p = 0.01). In @entity1 without @entity943 , survival rate was 79.2% at 5 years and 55.0% at 10 years, and was significantly higher than that in @entity1 with @entity943 . CONCLUSIONS: The @entity1 were not homologous and the techniques were not the same; however, in spite of these study limitations, @entity1 who underwent revascularization, and were without major @entity943 preoperatively, had better long-term survival.
