The Selection of Cases of Coronary Heart Disease Suitable for Surgical Treatment

N. A. ANTONIUS M.D., F.C.C.P.1; RALPH MILLER M.D.1; A. D. CRECCA M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and L. G. MASSARELLI M.D.1

1 The Department of Cardiology, St. Michael's Hospital.

1. Revascularization of the heart in the presence of coronary artery disease is a feasible procedure.

2. The validity of this premise has been demonstrated in the experimental animal by objective tests, and in the human patient by subjective results.

3. Our experience with 32 cases is briefly summarized.

4. We have done several types of operations. Our present preference is for the Beck I procedure.

5. Based on our experience and the experience of others, and on theoretical considerations, indications and contraindications for revascularization procedures have been formulated.

6. For the present, the indications are limited, but it is hoped that in the future a greater number of cases will be considered proper candidates for surgery.
