Table 1 Indications for surgical revascularisation in heart failure.

From: Temporary epicardial cardiac resynchronisation versus conventional right ventricular pacing after cardiac surgery: study protocol for a randomised control trial

Indication

Class

Level

CABG is recommended for:

I

B

   • Significant left main stenosis

  

   • Left main equivalent

  

   • Proximal LAD stenosis, with 2 or 3 vessel disease

  

LV aneurysmectomy during CABG is indicated in patients with a large LV aneurysm.

I

C

CABG should be considered in the presence of viable myocardium irrespective of LV end-systolic volumes.

IIa

B

CABG with ventricular reconstruction may be considered in patients with scarred LAD territory.

IIb

B

Revascularisation in the absence of myocardial viability is not recommended.
