SUMMARYAmong the first 400 patients undergoing saphenous vein coronary artery bypass at Stanford Medical Center, 67 (18%) met criteria for "preinfarction angina". Angina was alleviated and possible myocardial infarction was prevented utilizing these surgical technics. The overall operative mortality rate in the preinfarction angina patients was 10.4%, which contrasted strikingly with a 1.5% operative mortality for elective coronary artery bypass at Stanford. Six of the seven operative deaths resulted from myocardial infarction, two of which were related to technical factors. Operative mortality appeared to be related to degree of preoperative congestive heart failure and hypotension, pump time, sex, and number of atherosclerosis risk factors present. Fifty-two of the 60 patients leaving the hospital (87%) received good symptomatic benefit from surgery, including no late infarction, over a 6.8 month mean follow-ulp period. The late death rate was 3.3%, and the late infarction rate was 10% during the follow-up period. Angina can be alleviated and impending myocardial infarction may be prevented with aggressive surgical intervention.

“…Miguel Mendes, MD C oronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was introduced by René Favaloro in 1968 1 as the first technique for myocardial revascularization. Since then, some methodological changes have been made, such as off-pump surgery, 2 hybrid revascularization (CABG and percutaneous coronary intervention), 3,4 and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass, trying to make this procedure less aggressive or invasive, although the regular CABG performed nowadays usually still requires sternotomy and sometimes saphenectomy, because the saphenous veins are additional or alternative bypass conduits to the left and right mammary or radial arteries, the first choice because of longer patency.…”

“…[7] The bypass graft technique as we know today was developed by Favaloro in 1967. [8] In his physiologic approach in the surgical management of coronary artery disease, Favaloro and his team initially used a saphenous vein autograft to bypass a stenosis of the right coronary artery. Shortly hereafter, Favaloro began to use the saphenous vein as a bypassing conduit.…”
