Abstract
Background: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Survival is estimated at less than 2 years without aortic valve replacement (AVR). Limited data are available on the effects and outcomes of AVR in such patients, especially in the absence of concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This was a retrospective study which identifi ed 33 patients over an approximate 10 year period who underwent surgical AVR for severe isolated AS and LVD (LVEF ≤50%). Patients were excluded if they had a prior valve replacement, mixed valve disease,
