Abstract： Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of plication of left ventricular aneurysm during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）. Methods A total of 114 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） and concomitant surgical treatment for left ventricular aneurysm from January 2007 to January 2011 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were included in this study. All the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the different surgical procedures they received. In groupⅠ， there were 76 patients including 57 males and 19 females with their average age of （63.4±7.8） years who underwent CABG and left ventricular aneurysmectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass on the non-beating heart. In groupⅡ， there were 38 patients including 32 males and 6 females with their average age of （60.6±8.9） years who underwent OPCAB and plication of the left ventricular aneurysm on the beating heart. Preoperative data were not statistically different between the 2 groups except that the percentage of the left ventricular aneurysm to the left ventricle of groupⅠwas significantly larger than that of groupⅡ（42.2%±13.6% vs. 26.5%±12.3％， t=5.499， P=0.000）. Postoperative clinical outcomes and morbidities were compared between the 2 groups， and all the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results There was 2 in-hospital death in groupⅠ， one for postoperative refractory ventricular arrhythmia， and the other for severe pneumonia. There was 1 in-hospital death in groupⅡ because of perioperative myocardial infarction. Postoperative thoracic drainage， incidence of reexploration for bleeding， mechanical ventilation time and incidence of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） implantation were not statistically different between the 2 groups （P＞0.05）. To compare their echocardiography outcomes at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge with preoperative values， left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions （LVEDD） at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both signific antly decreased than preoperative value in both groups ［groupⅠ： （54.0±7.8） mm amp; （56.0±8.1） mm vs. （59.6±6.6） mm， groupⅡ： （52.0±7.2） mm amp; （53.6±5.3） mm vs. （57.9±5.4） mm］， and left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both significantly higher than preoperative value in both groups （groupⅠ：43.5%±3.2％ amp; 55.7%±3.7% vs. 38.0%±7.4%， groupⅡ：44.7%±2.8％ amp; 57.0%±3.5% vs. 41.0%±6.6%）， but there was no statistical difference in LVEDD and LVEF between the 2 groups（P＞0.05）. Conclusion Plication of left ventricular aneurysm during OPCAB is a safe and effective surgical procedure， and possibly more appropriate for patients with a smaller left ventricular aneurysm.
