Abstract

The early and late results of the first 103 patients with left main coronary obstruction submitted to bypass grafting in South Australia are presented. A satisfactory hospital mortality of 2.9% and a surprisingly low late mortality of 2.9% (at an average follow-up time of 30 months), were obtained, and these figures, when taken in conjunction with a symptomatic relief rate of 83% at 24 months, have encouraged us to continue to recommend coronary artery grafting as the treatment of choice of left main stem disease.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
