title: [Ischemic heart disease complicated by heart failure: possibilities of surgical treatment].
abstract: Aim of the study was to assess remote results of surgical reconstruction of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic heart failure (CHF). During 1996-2010 136 patients with IHD complicated by CHD were subjected to surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups: with LV aneurism (group 1, n=70) and with ischemic cardiomyopathy (group 2, n=66). In all patients we performed coronary bypass surgery and Dor LV reconstruction. Moderate and high degree mitral regurgitation was corrected. Hospital mortality was 5.4% in group 2. There were no inhospital deaths in group 1. In all survivors we noted reduction of LV dimensions and sphericity of LV cavity, increase of LV ejection fraction. Ten year survival was 78 and 56,5% in groups 1 and 2, respectively. In 10 years after surgery 80.2 and 68% of patients, respectively, had no signs of high NYHA class (III-IV) CHF. Thus surgical intervention on all components of intracardiac pathology in patients with IHD with CHF allowed to achieve satisfactory long term results.
