title: Direct myocardial revascularization in young patients: analysis of 100 consecutive cases without operative mortality.
abstract: The authors studied a series of 100 patients submitted to direct myocardial revascularization before 40 years of age. One hundred and seventy-three saphenous vein by-passes and 4 mammary artery left descending coronary artery anastomoses were performed. There was no operative mortality and the late mortality was 2%. The period of postoperative clinical evaluation of the patients varied from 12 to 60 months (mean 32.0 months).
