[CABG in 2 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction].
Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in two patients with left ventricular dysfunction (EF 16%). In both cases they had chest pain at rest and ischemic myocardium were detected by the SPECT. We considered them candidate for the operation regardless of LV dysfunction. They were eventful in the postoperative course. One case was discharged and is free from chest pain now, but another unfortunately died for multiple organ failure.
