title: [Emergency myocardial revascularization during a developing myocardial infarct].
abstract: In 1996-1998 in our Cardiocentre urgent revascularizations were made in 28 patients with developing acute myocardial infarction (AIM) with manifestations of different grades of acute circulatory failure up to developed cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. In all patients complete revascularization with a mean number of 2.9 bypasses per patient was made, in one patient at the same time a rupture of the interventricular septum was closed and in two patients an insufficient mitral valve was replaced. From the whole group two patients died during the early postoperative period, two were revised on account of postoperative haemorrhage and two had signs of low cardiac output. Twenty-two patients had a postoperative course without complications. Urgent surgical revascularization in patients developing AIM and circulatory deterioration is the method of primary and definite treatment when primary PTCA is not suitable.
