Thirty day mortality was 12%. NYHA class (3.7 (0.6) <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic> 3.2 (0.7), p \u200a=\u200a 0.004), cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) (0.63 (0.07) <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic> 0.56 (0.06), p &lt; 0.0001), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (63 (25) <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic> 50 (19) mm Hg, p \u200a=\u200a 0.03), and prevalence of complete left bundle branch block (22% <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic> 8%, p \u200a=\u200a 0.03) and of renal insufficiency (p \u200a=\u200a 0.001) were significantly higher in 18 non-survivors than in 137 survivors. In multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor of operative mortality was a CTR \u2a7e 0.6 (odds ratio (OR) 12.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.4 to 27.4, p \u200a=\u200a 0.002). The difference between preoperative and immediate postoperative LVEF (early-\u0394EF) was &gt; 10 ejection fraction units (EFU) in 55 survivors. In multivariate analysis, CTR (OR 5.95, 95% CI 3.0 to 11.6, p \u200a=\u200a 0.006) and mean transaortic gradient (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.1, p &lt; 0.05) were independent predictors of an early-\u0394EF &gt; 10 EFU. During a mean (SD) follow up of 4.6 (3) years, 50 of 137 (36%) 30 day survivors died, 31 of non-cardiac causes. Diabetes (OR 3.8, 95% CI 2.4 to 6.0, p \u200a=\u200a 0.003), age \u2a7e 75 years (OR 2.6, 95% CI 2.1 to 4.5, p \u200a=\u200a 0.004), and early-\u0394EF \u2a7d 10 EFU (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.94 to 0.97, p \u200a=\u200a 0.01) were independent predictors of long term mortality. Among 127 survivors, the percentage of patients in NYHA functional class III or IV decreased from 89% preoperatively to 3% at one year. The decrease in functional class was significantly greater in patients with an early-\u0394EF &gt; 10 EFU than patients with an early-\u0394EF \u2a7d 10 EFU (p \u200a=\u200a 0.02). In addition, the mean (SD) LVEF at one year was 53 (11)% in patients with an early-\u0394EF &gt; 10 EFU and 42 (11)% in patients with early-\u0394EF \u2a7d 10 EFU (p &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Despite a relatively high operative mortality, AVR for AS and severely depressed LVEF was beneficial in the majority of patients.
