Abstract

During the period from February to March, 1984, we employed a partial left heart bypass [left atrium to ascending aorta] in 2 patients who could not weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass with inotropic agents and cardiac pacing after coronary bypass surgery. These two patients showed significant improvement in ventricular function 18 to 47 hours after inserting the left heart bypass and were able to wean from the left heart bypass under using inotropic agents. Two patients died of multiple organ failures 11 days and 15 days postoperatively. These results indicate that early institution of left heart bypass in ventricular failure patients after open heart surgery can provide satisfactory long-term result.
