title: Valve surgery combined with myocardial revascularisation. Report of 62 cases.
abstract: Combined valvular and coronary bypass surgery was performed in 1984-1988 in 62 patients. Their age range at operation was 38-75 (mean 59) years and more than 90% were in NYHA class III or IV. Valve replacement was performed in 55 cases--mitral in 13, aortic in 33, tricuspid in one and combined valve procedures in eight cases--and valvular correction in seven cases. The patients also received a total of 92 coronary artery grafts (1-4/patient, mostly as single grafts). The hospital mortality was 3% and there were two late deaths. Follow-up was 100% complete 2-52 (mean 22) months after surgery, and more than 90% of the survivors were improved.
