The general objective of this study is to make a survey of the scientific production about the surgical treatment for Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). As a methodology, an integrative review was used to collect scientific productions. The research was carried out through a survey of the published journals in electronic databases: Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LALIHS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Portal of the Ministry of Health, considering the articles inherent to the objective here traced. It is believed that the awareness of people can reduce the number of hospitalizations and deaths that involve CHF in Brazil, not excluding secondary prevention and pharmacological treatment to prolong the life of the patient already affected by the problem, however, health education may be the best way to reduce these numbers. With surgical treatment being only indicated in cases of hospital emergency associated with the need for revascularization in the ischemic myocardium, ventricular reconstruction and correction of secondary mitral insufficiency.
