N2 - From 1970 to 1985, 246 consecutive patients with left ventricular (LV) aneurysm underwent repair and concomitant myocardial revascularization at Ochsner Foundation Hospital. The overall incidence of perioperative death was 7.3%. Although the deaths were mainly cardiac related (10/18) with congestive heart failure (CHF) as the leading cause (6/10), 8 deaths were of noncardiac origin. Perioperative mortality increased significantly in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) (22%; p = 0.0008); perioperative mortality for patients without MR was 4.8%. The overall 5-year survival was 69%. Late deaths were caused most commonly by myocardial infarction (20/32) with only 7 due to CHF. Predictors of long-term survival were related to LV function preoperatively: absence of CHF (p = 0.001); LV end-diastolic pressure less than or equal to 20 mm Hg (p = 0.03); and ejection fraction greater than or equal to 35% (p = 0.02). Factors that did not significantly affect long-term survival were type of aneurysm repair (resection or plication), morphology of left anterior descending coronary artery (occlusion or stenosis), and size of the aneurysm.
