title: [Crescendo angina - an indication for surgery: A short literature survey and a discussion of three cases].
abstract: A definition of crescendo angina is given, followed by a short discussion of the literature on this disease. A case of a patient treated surgically for crescendo angina is reported, and the angiograms of 2 other patients are reviewed to further illustrate the problem. The favourable postoperative course of the patients who underwent an operation for this life-threatening disease is a strong indication for this mode of treatment.
