Methods Twelve consecutive patients with recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia refractory to medical therapy underwent surgery for control of their ar-rhythmias. Ten men and two women ranged in age from 44 to 68 years. All had coronary artery disease with documented myocardial infarction two weeks to 60 months prior to surgery. Hemodynamic and angiographic catheterization revealed significant coronary artery disease (mean of 1.75 vessels with> 70% obstruction) and asynergy in all patients. Eight had an-terior and/or apical aneurysms, two had antero-lateral aneurysms, one had an inferior aneurysm, and one had inferior akinesis without a discrete aneurysm. In nine patients the aneurysm involved the septum. Ejection fractions ranged from 4 to 40% and sixpa-tients had been considered inoperable bytheir re-ferring institutions.
