In 1992-1997 66 patients with ischemic heart disease and postmyocardial infarction aneurysms in the left ventricle in association with 1 to 6 coronary arteries' lesion underwent surgical intervention when aneurysm elimination operations were accompanied by shunting of 1 to 6 arteries, which resulted in a better contractile ability of the ventricle and load tolerance. As compared with the reference literature data the lethality rate reduced by 2.4 times.
