title: [Stenosis of the left coronary trunk. Results of aorto-coronary bypass in a series of 46 patients].
abstract: Forty-six patients were operated on from 1979 to 1980 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery "A. De Gasperis" in Milan, to relieve left main coronary artery stenosis. There was only one death (2,1%) in a patient with "untractable angina". Three patients had per-operative infarction. No other complication were noted. The follow-up varies from 4 to 30 months: 40 patients are asymptomatic, 2 are improved, 1 patient had a recurrence of angina after 15 months. There were no deaths nor myocardial infarctions in the long-term follow-up.
