“…However, the use of ventricular assist device, intra-aortic balloon was very different (14.3 x 58%), which may explain the difference in immediate mortality, in adittion to the group of Bockeria et al [21] represents only a subgroup of their experience (14/224), which was removed the initial experience. These data differ from those presented by Gomes et al [22], in a group of 11 patients in a limited period in which there was no mortality or use of circulatory assistance.…”

“…When analyzing the survival after 5 years, 82.1 ± 7.2%, it is equal or greater than the majority of the studies [18,20,22,23], so we can affirm that patients who survived surgery presented a very good evolution.…”

“…Bockeria et al [2006] reported a mean hospital stay of 21.4 ± 6.9 days for a group of patients with a comparable functional class and a similar ventricular function (NYHA class, 3.6 ± 0.5 versus 3.5 ± 0.3; LVEF, 32.3% ± 9.2% versus 32.9% ± 5.4%); however, these investigators' use of ventricular assistance (intra-aortic balloon pump) was very different from ours (14.3% versus 58%), which may explain the difference in the immediate-mortality rate. The data differ from those presented by Gomes et al [2004] for a group of 11 patients in which there was no mortality or use of circulatory assistance.…”

“…Mean survival at the end of 110 months of follow-up was 54.7% ± 22.9%, which was within the range of values obtained for other patient groups but with a smaller number of patients at risk. Analysis of survival to the end of 5 years yielded a survival rate (82.1% ± 7.2%) that is lower than that obtained by the majority of studies [Dor 2001;Gomes 2004;Sartipy 2005;Adams 2006]. We therefore can say that once patients survived their surgery, patients had very good outcomes.…”
EVSE surgery is an effective option for treating this group of patients, with improvement noted in left ventricular function and in the patients' quality of life, despite the high in-hospital mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
