  • Title: [Clinical observations and angiographic findings before and after aortocoronary benous bypass grafting (author's transl)].
    Author: Aigner A, Steiger U, Fischer E, Meier W, Rutishauser W.
    Journal: Thoraxchir Vask Chir; 1975 Dec; 23(6):533-7. PubMed ID: 1082660.
    Abstract:
    37 patients (mean age 51 +/- 8 years) were investigated clinically, mechanocardiographically and angiocardiographically before and 336 +/- 166 days after implantation of an aortocoronary vein graft. The bypass patency rate was 78%. Postoperatively 57% of the patients were free of symptoms, 35% were improved and 8% unimproved or worse. The postoperative incidence of angina pectoris during exercise testing was significantly lower in the groups with an improved vascularization-index, open vein grafts and a lack of preoperative myocardial infarction. For separating the patients only the vascularization-index and the bypass patency seem to be of value.
