RESUMO
In search of new sources for cardiac revascularization of the myocardium in ischemic heart disease the authors elaborated experimentally on dogs an operation of construction of retrograde arterial splenocoronary anastomosis. The results of the operation were estimated by means of EEG findings, vital and postmortem coronarography and histological studies of the myocardium and zone of the anastomosis. An analysis of the experimental data obtained has revealed a patency of the vascular anastomosis in most animals; electrocardiographic signs of acute myocardial infarction, developed in high ligation of the anterior intraventricular branch of the left coronary artery, would undergo a prompt reverse dynamics after constructing a splenocoronary anastomosis. Further studies of the mentioned method of revascularization of the myocardium seems to be rather perspective.
