Under investigation there were 91 patients subjected to operations of mammary-coronary shunts with putting end-to-end anastomoses between the left internal thoracic artery and the anterior interventricular artery. Control examinations were performed within the terms from 3 weeks to 7 years. The patency of the shunt was established in 85 of 91 patients. The author considers that the function of the left ventricle myocardium was considerably improved in patients with passable shunts (the patients after myocardium infarction).
