ABSTRACT
Objectives:
In the Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure trial, surgical ventricular reconstruction pluscoronary artery bypass surgery was not associated with a reduction in the rate of death or cardiac hospitalizationcompared with bypass alone. We hypothesized that the absence of viable myocardium identifies patients withcoronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction who have a greater benefit with coronary artery bypassgraft surgery and surgical ventricular reconstruction compared with bypass alone.Methods:
Myocardial viability was assessed by single photon computed tomography in 267 of the 1000 patientsrandomized to bypass or bypass plus surgical ventricular reconstruction in the Surgical Treatment for IschemicHeart Failure. Myocardial viability was assessed on a per patient basis and regionally according to prespecifiedcriteria.Results:
At 3 years, there was no difference in mortality or the combined outcome of death or cardiachospitalization between those with and without viability, and there was no significant interaction between thetype of surgery and the global viability status with respect to mortality or death plus cardiac hospitalization.Furthermore, there was no difference in mortality or death plus cardiac hospitalization between those withand without anterior wall or apical scar, and no significant interaction between the presence of scar in theseregions and the type of surgery with respect to mortality.Conclusions:
In patients with coronary artery disease and severe regional left ventricular dysfunction,assessment of myocardial viability does not identify patients who will derive a mortality benefit from addingsurgical ventricular reconstruction to coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
