[Mechanical circulatory assistance after coronary surgery in patients over 70 years of age].
Four patients aged over 70 received mechanical circulatory assistance for a period of 2 to 48 hours after myocardial revascularisation surgery. Three patients survived. The simplicity and modest cost of the method encourage the authors to use such assistance whenever necessary. This attitude is shared by other authors.
