A review of 336 consecutive @entity1 who underwent repair of @entity1002 from 1978 to 1989 disclosed that partial resection of the @entity439 and conventional closure of the ventriculotomy was performed in 281 @entity1 , inverted T closure in 17, and endocardial patch in 38. These two latter techniques were developed in an attempt to restore normal left ventricular geometry. The operative mortality was 6.8% (23 @entity1 ). A stepwise logistic regression analysis of various preopeative clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic variables revealed that left ventricular ejection fraction of 0.20 or less, age greater than 60 years, previous myocardial revascularization, lack of angina, and New York Heart Association functional class IV were independent predictors of operative mortality. The technique of repair was not a predictor of outcome, but when @entity1 with poor left ventricular function were analyzed separately, the operative mortality was reduced from 12.5% to 6.5% when newer techniques were employed. @entity1 were followed up during a mean of 6.3 years. There have been 51 late deaths, 45 cardiac. Cox regression analysis indicated that poor left ventricular function and left main @entity3979 were the only two predictors of late mortality. The actuarial survival at 10 years was 63% +/- 4%. Most @entity1 (88%) are in New York Heart Association class I or II. These data indicate excellent long-term results after repair of @entity1002 . Newer techniques of repair are valuable in @entity1 with poor left ventricular function.
