Case Report on Rescue Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on An Arrest Survival Patient with Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, and heart failure often complicates the prognosis in survivors. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has improved survival and quality of life in patients with CAD & HF. However, the decision to perform CABG in an arrest survival patient remains a complex clinical challenge due to the underlying myocardial damage and altered hemodynamics. Our patient, a 50-yearold cardiac arrest survival normotensive, nondiabetic lady with a positive family history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with the diagnosis of coronary artery disease with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction underwent rescue coronary artery bypass grafting. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful and she was discharged to home on the 7 th postoperative day with the advice of medications and further follow-up. Here we describe the successful coronary artery bypass grafting in such a patient with coronary artery disease with left ventricular dysfunction.
