title: Cardiac surgical procedures following myocardial infarction.
abstract: Advances in myocardial preservation have made possible operative intervention early post-myocardial infarction or in the face of an evolving myocardial infarction. Results are dictated by preoperative factors primarily related to the ravages of low flow state. Resuscitation of the myocardium is possible under the vast majority of circumstances.
