Late results of aortocoronary bypass grafts in 100 patients with stable angina pectoris.

From March 1969 to December 1972, 314 patients underwent elective aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass graft surgery at the Toronto General Hospital for the relief of stable disabling angina refractory to medical management. Inhospital mortality was 2.5%. Of these patients 100 agreed to return for follow-up hemodynamic and angiographic assessment at a mean interval of 19.7 months after operation. Seventy-four percent of patients were asymptomatic or had angina only with strenuous exertion at the time of follow-up. Seventy-five percent of the 142 grafts were patent, though a few had significant narrowings. Clinical improvement could be correlated with successful myocardial revascularization. Myocardial infarction was diagnosed by the presence of new Q waves after operation in 15% of patients. Many of these patients had patent grafts at follow-up and all were improved. Dyslipoproteinemia was not found to be a factor affecting late graft patency. Total left ventricular function was not shown to be improved by segmental revascularization. The trend toward improved survival in the intervening period for the total operated group is encouraging.

A parental perspective on the Honeylands Home Visiting Project for severely handicapped infants provided by three mothers of older handicapped children.

Three mothers of severely handicapped children, who had not attended Honeylands nor received any home visiting, were asked to attend and participate in the monthly group meetings for the second year of the three year project (Rayner 1978). They each then decided to visit a family with their home therapist. They comment on the responsibility undertaken by all parties to this work; parents, therapist and supportive team.
