[Myocardial revascularization combined with endoarterectomy (author's transl)].
The paper summarize a personal experience in myocardial revascularization combined with endoarterectomy for diffuse coronary artery disease. From Feb. 1977 to June 1978 at Harefield Hospital 60 patients had 138 grafts. In 32 patients, 42 endoarteriectomies were performed (30% of all grafted vessels); of these 19 (45%) were to LAD; 4 (10%) to CX and 19 (45%) to RC. The overall mortality was of 1 patient. Symptomatic evaluation shows that 26 patients (84%) are asmptomatic and 5 (16%) are improved. Restudy of 24 (32 endoarterectomies) shows a patency rate of 75%.
