title: [Remission of a sleep apnea syndrome following aortocoronary bypass surgery].
abstract: It is well known that sleep apnea syndrome may develop or worsen in patients with cardiac failure. The case is reported of a patient with severe coronary artery disease involving three vessels but without symptoms or signs of cardiac failure. Aortocoronary bypass operation nevertheless eliminated the coexisting sleep apnea syndrome.
