From March, 1983 to June, 1994, twenty-two patients underwent coronary artery and combined operations. The ages of the patients ranged from 42 years to 72 years (mean 60.4±8.2 years). There were 17 male and 5 female patients. The left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ranged from 25% to 65% (mean 46.9±14.2%). Nine patients had mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI), of which 5 were LV aneurysm, 3 ventricular septal defect and 1 mitral regurgitation. Nine patients had rheumatic valvular heart disease of whom 7 with aortic valve disease and 2 with mitral valve disease. Two other patients had left atrial thrombi, only one with atrial septal defect a d another with aneurysm of ascending aorta. An average of 2.1±1.0 bypasses was done, ranging from one to four. There were 3 postoperative complications; 2 perioperative MI and 1 leg wound infection. Among complicated patients, mortality was 1 patient (4.5%) due to low cardiac output syndrome after perioperative MI. With 3 to 136 months follow-up (mean 41.1±40.2 months), late mortality was 1 patient due to cerebral vascular accident. Among long-term survivors, all patients are in New York Heart Association functional class I or II. Although the number of patients was small, our surgical results were favorable. Therefore we think that coronary revascularization combined with heart operation does not increase the operative risk when associated coronary artery disease is present, and it reduces the occurrence of late death.
