  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to compare survivability of the patients with ischemic heart failure LVEF ≤ 35% after coronary artery bypass grafting or coronary artery bypass grafting combined with surgical ventricular restoration and single-step implantation of CRT system and isolated coronary artery bypass grafting or coronary artery bypass grafting with surgical ventricular restoration. (CABG + CRT or CABG + SVR + CRT vs CABG or CABG + SVR)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no survival benefit in the CRT group (CABG-with or without SVR-+ CRT) compared to the control group. H0: Ө ≤ 1. Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): There is a survival benefit in the CRT group. HA: Ө > 1 [ Time Frame: 2007-2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 250
Study Start Date: September 2007
Study Completion Date: September 2010
Primary Completion Date: September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Procedure: Coronary artery bypass grafting or coronary artery bypass grafting combined with surgical ventricular restoration and single-step epicardial implantation of CRT
    During the cardiac surgery, the CRT arm will be implanted with epicardial leads to the right atrium, right and left ventricles. Left ventricle leads will be fixed to the posterolateral wall provided that there is no scar or fat tissue (behind and 2-3 cm apical than obtuse marginal artery). Right atrial and right ventricular leads will be fixed in a traditional way. Then the leads will be guided into a preformed pocket (left subclavian region) and connected with the CRT device. The second patient group will get only a CABG or CABG+SVR procedure without CRT device implantation.
