TI  - The results of surgical treatment of left ventricular aneurysms. An assessment of 
      the risk factors affecting early and late mortality.
PG  - 87-98
AB  - The surgical results of left ventricular aneurysmectomy have been examined in 145 
      patients during a 13 year period. In 113 patients (78%) coronary artery bypass 
      grafting (CABG) was also undertaken. There were 22 hospital deaths (15%) and 44 
      late deaths (30%). Stepwise, multiple regression analyses were used to examine 
      many variables and to establish risk factors for hospital and late mortality. The 
      chances of hospital death were increased by worsening New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA) class, severe congestive heart failure (CHF), and extensive coronary 
      disease. The risk of late mortality was increased by a significant right coronary 
      artery stenosis and by poor contractility of the posterobasal segment. The 
      probability of late death was reduced by a history of preoperative angina and an 
      increasing number of grafts.
