Abstract

Background

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is the choice of treatment for patients with Multi vessel coronary artery disease (MV CAD). Left ventricular dysfunction is one of the commonest complications in patients with multi-vessel CAD which can increase the risk of adverse events in the intra-operative and postoperative period. Therefore optimisation of surgical techniques in order to enhance the outcomes in patients with LV dysfunction is of utmost importance.

With the advances in surgical techniques and constant desire for better long term outcomes, multiple arterial conduits and TAR techniques are being increasingly used. Many studies have showed that arterial conduits have various benefits such as long term patency, reduced mortality, reduced cerebro vascular events, reduced need for redo revascularization.

This study aims in analysing the short term outcomes of total arterial revascularization in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and to compare the outcomes with patients undergoing total arterial revascularization with normal left ventricular functions.
