Özet
After coronary artery bypass grafting, our patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and significant left ventricular (LV) dilation demonstrated an improvement in angina symptoms, acceptable operative and medium-term survival, a trend toward improvement in LV ejection fraction, and a significant reduction in LV chamber size. Our results suggest that patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and LV dilation should not be excluded from surgical revascularization based on ventricular size alone.
