A Surgical Rehabilitation for the Coronary Cripple

SAMUEL ALCOTT THOMPSON M.D., F.C.C.P., F.A.C.S.

I would like to emphasize that we have operated upon a specific group of patients who were medical failures. We do not intimate that this form of treatment is a cure for coronary artery disease. It is a method of rehabilitation for a definite group of patients. In view of the disability of these patients, the fact that they were poor surgical risks and already classed as failures from the standpoint of treatment, we believe that there is a definite possibility of surgical rehabilitation for the coronary cripple and that this method which we have described is very satisfactory.
