From July 1997 to December 2003, 53 consecutive patients underwent SVR including VT surgery for post-infarction, dyskinetic left ventricular aneurysm and VT at the Karolinska University Hospital [10]. There were no intraoperative deaths, but two patients died in the intensive care unit 1 and 50 days postoperatively, respectively, thus early mortality was 3.8%. Mean follow-up of operative survivors was 3.7±2.0 years. Overall survival was 94% at one year, 80% at three years, and 59% at five years. There was no arrhythmia-related death, no sudden death and no loss to follow-up. There was no difference in survival between patients with preoperative spontaneous or inducible-only VT. Surgical success in terms of arrhythmia control was defined as freedom from postoperative spontaneous VT in operative survivors. Five patients had spontaneous VT postoperatively, thus overall success rate was 90% (46 of 51 patients) [10].
