[Aortocoronary bypass]
Abstract
Surgical revascularisation of the myocardium by aorto-coronary by-pass, has become in recent years, the operation of choice for the treatment of lesions of coronary arteriosclerosis. The quality of the results observed in our series, of 200 operated patients, and those reported by other authors, is emphasized. The problems raised by extension of this surgery, especially in the precise pre-operative assessment of ventricular function, the optimum material to use for realisatin of the graft and the course of coronary lesions after by-pass operations are then discussed.
