[Late results of a mammary-coronary anastomosis]. 1982

V I Kolesov

Remote results of the treatment of 102 patients with mammary-coronary anastomosis for chronic coronary insufficiency, pre-infarction state and acute transmural myocardial infarction created in 1964-1976 are investigated. The observations continued from 5 to 16 years. In most cases mammary-coronary anastomosis was created without an artificial blood circulation on the contracting heart. An original model of the apparatus for suturing the vessels was used. More than 70% of the patients are alive (up to 16 years after operation) or survived from 5 to 16 years. In 40% of the living patients there is no stenocardia and they do not use nitroglycerin. Some patients were operated urgently in 1968-1975 for extensive transmural myocardial infarction. After creation of the mammary-coronary anastomosis the infarction was found to disappear. The patients are still alive.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007387	Internal Mammary-Coronary Artery Anastomosis	Direct myocardial revascularization in which the internal mammary artery is anastomosed to the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, or anterior descending coronary artery. The internal mammary artery is the most frequent choice, especially for a single graft, for coronary artery bypass surgery.

D002908	Chronic Disease	Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003327	Coronary Disease	An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D000787	Angina Pectoris	The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION.
