Formation and evolution of surgical methods for treatment of stable coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction (review of literature)

Abstract

Currently, two methods of coronary revascularization are used in coronary surgery – percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary bypass grafting. Technical capabilities allow using them both for the treatment of chronic coronary heart disease and in surgery for acute myocardial infarction.The development of cardiosurgical and endovascular areas has gone through two main stages. The first was to develop and improve the methodology itself and the second was to create standards and recommendations governing the treatment of coronary heart disease based on experience and accumulated results. At the present stage, individual technical aspects are subject to even greater standardization, which relate to both the selection and preparation for surgical treatment and individual stages of revascularization.
