This  bibliographic review was done with the purpose of knowing novel aspects about advantages and disadvantages of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Articles linked to theme and disposable in the last 8 years in Database like CUMED and PubMed/Medline were reviewed.Information was condensed, analyzed and resumed. Coronary surgery is associated with less cardiovascular mortality, hospitalizations for heart failure, improvement of functional class and quality of life.
