Included in the study were 236 operations for ischemic heart disease (IHD) aorto-coronary shunt (ACS)--88 patients; ACS + aneurysmectomy--30; ACS + endarterectomy--12, aneurysmectomy--70; skin endocoronary balloon angioplasty--34, heart transplantation--2. The postoperative mortality was 6.5 per cent. Indications for ACS were specified on the basis of the patients state of well-being, the bicycle ergometry [correction of veloergometric] test, the coronarography and ventriculography, the end diastolic pressure and the ejection fraction. Decisive in selecting patients for operative treatment were the data of selective coronarography.
