[Coronary revascularization in post-infarction patients].
Authors report the type of revascularization, the result of noninvasive and invasive investigations carried out 6-9 months after surgery, improvement of functional status of 56 postinfarction patients with recurrent angina pectoris. They conclude, that recoronarography performed in 12 patients revealed diminished patency rate compared to the estimated predictive one, especially in those, where complete revascularization was considered to have been carried out. Ejection fraction, wall motion score by ventriculography and echocardiography did not seem to improve significantly. However Dipyridamol Thallium scintigraphy showed marked improvement in perfusion in all cases. NYHA functional status has noticeably improved in the reexamined patients.
