[Direct reconstructive operations on the coronary arteries in ischemic heart disease]

Direct reconstructive operations were performed on affected coronary arteries of six patients with IHD in order to revascularize myocardium:surgical prosthesis of left coronary artery, resection of arteries of interventricular interseptum and right coronary artery. The zones of lesions were resected with further restoration of its anatomic integrity. Angiography and bicycle ergometry [correction of veloergometry] conducted in different periods after operations have shown a good conductivity of arteries at the zones of reconstruction, as will as a considerable increase was achieved in patients' tolerance to loading tests. The observation period was from 1 month to 3.5 years. There were no lethal cases.
