title: [Surgical aspects of the treatment and significance of angina pectoris].
abstract: Due to recent developments in modern interventional cardiology for the majority of patients with multi-vessel disease an indicatory and therapeutical grey-zone between bypass surgery and coronary angioplasty has arisen. Only patients with left main stenosis or uncomplicated one/two-vessel disease are generally accepted to be operated upon or treated by angioplasty, respectively. While pharmacological therapy is somewhat controlled by governments - surgical and cardiological interventional approaches are not. Even if it is justified to work out new interventional therapeutic approaches in the interest of its progress all of our current patients should in any case be informed concerning the risks of their treatment, prior to treatment.
