Myocardial Revascularization by Means of Cardiopneumopexy and Ivalon Graft

FRANKLIN R. SMITH M.D., F.C.C.P.; HOWARD PYFER M.D.; WAYNE GARRETT M.D.; J. BROOKS DUGAN M.D.; and DAVID McINTYRE B.S.

Coronary heart disease is the leading single cause of death. Current methods of medical therapy are not adequate. Ancillary surgical aids may be of help in treatment of this disease. Cardiopneumopexy has been demonstrated in the laboratory and clinically to be an encouraging method of stimulating extracoronary and intracoronary collateral circulation. Ivalon grafts to by-pass the obstructed area in the coronary artery offer intriguing possibilities for the future. These surgical methods are no panacea; they are offered as actual and potential adjuncts to existing medical programs.
