title: Coronary artery bypass graft and mitral valvuloplasty in a patient with isolated ventricular non-compaction.
abstract: A case of isolated ventricular non-compaction associated to three-vessel disease and a mitral regurgitation is described. The patient underwent triple coronary artery bypass graft and restrictive mitral annuloplasty. The postoperative course was unsuccessful despite the very depressed left ventricular (LV) function. At two years follow-up, no major adverse cardiac event has occurred and the LV function was slightly improved.
