[Proceedings: Clinical findings and coronary morphology before and after aorto-coronary venous bypass].

37 patients (mean age 51+/-8 years) were clinically and angiographically investigated before and 11+/-5 months after implantation of an aortocoronary vein graft. The rate of bypass patency was 78%. Postoperatively 57% of the patients were free of symptoms, 35% were improved and 8% unimproved or worse. The reduced incidence of angina pectoris during exercise testing appears to be correlated with graft patency, an improved vascularization index and probably the absence of preoperative myocardial infarction. The systolic time intervals and the lung-ear time at rest are of no value for differentiation of improved and unimproved patients.

[Clinical observations and angiographic findings before and after aortocoronary benous bypass grafting (author's transl)].

37 patients (mean age 51 +/- 8 years) were investigated clinically, mechanocardiographically and angiocardiographically before and 336 +/- 166 days after implantation of an aortocoronary vein graft. The bypass patency rate was 78%. Postoperatively 57% of the patients were free of symptoms, 35% were improved and 8% unimproved or worse. The postoperative incidence of angina pectoris during exercise testing was significantly lower in the groups with an improved vascularization-index, open vein grafts and a lack of preoperative myocardial infarction. For separating the patients only the vascularization-index and the bypass patency seem to be of value.
