Abstract

A clinical and anatomic study was conducted in 50 patients with myocardial infarction aggravated by cardiogenic shock in order to substantiate the practicability and possibility of aortal-coronary shunting in such cases. Gross stenosing and occluding lesions one and more coronary arteries, localized in proximal vascular segments, were present in all the cases. Anatomical conditions in most patients with cardiogenic shock were conducive to reconstructive surgery.
