title: [Surgical treatment of associated coronary disease and heart valve disease].
abstract: 25 patients underwent combined surgery for coronary artery and valvular heart disease. Although patients suffering from associated coronary artery and valvular lesions represent a high operative risk group, the combined surgical procedure is clearly justified by the functional improvement of the patients. Selective coronaro-angiography should be carried out in the assessment of patients over 40 years of age with valvular disease, since not all patients present angina in spite of diseased coronary arteries. Three hospital deaths (13.5%) indicate the gravity of the procedure, but the absence of intra- or postoperative myocardial infarction and the comparatively rapid recovery of the patients with relatively few complications are very encouraging.
