  • Title: [Reoperation following aortocoronary bypass. Indications and results].
    Author: Weinhold C, Nollau D, Schütz A, Reichart B, Vetter HN.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1984 Feb 16; 102(7):152-4. PubMed ID: 6608481.
    Abstract:
    Aorto coronary reoperation can be performed with a low morbidity and mortality rate which approaches that of initial surgical procedures. Increasing experience in setting indication and in managing surgical procedures has led to better results during the last years. There is a good prognosis in such cases having only singular new stenoses in greater coronary vessels, which still have a good run off. Also good results can be expected in patients suffering from stenotic or completely occluded grafts, without progression of disease. Only 50-60% of the reoperated patients obtain complete relief of angina, which is comparable to our results of 41 cases.
