[Use of microsurgery in the treatment of ischemic heart disease]

Coronary artery bypass operations with the use of microsurgery were performed in 60 patients with diffuse forms and distal levels of coronary artery lesions. In 55 patients aortocoronary bypass operations, and in 5 patients mammary-coronary bypass operations were performed (total of 213 distal anastomoses). During the operation and in immediate postoperative period 3 patients (5%) died, 3 patients developed the intraoperational myocardial infarction. Microsurgery has good prospects in operations of coronary arteries.
