Operation for coronary artery disease.
TLDR
In this article, two operations have been developed for the purpose of making intercoronary channels by producing an inflammatory reaction on the surface of the heart and placing a vein graft between aorta and coronary sinus.Abstract:
The primary problem of coronary artery disease concerns red blood to the heart muscle. Operative procedures can accomplish this objective. Two operations have been developed for this purpose. One consists of making intercoronary channels by producing an inflammatory reaction on the surface of the heart. Ligation of the coronary sinus is also carried out in this operation. The second operation consists of placing a vein graft between aorta and coronary sinus. Both of these operations are beneficial. One hundred operations have been done. The clinical results have been excellent. Mortality can be kept around 10 per cent depending on the type of patients selected for operation.read more

Balloon angioplasty for the treatment of lesions in saphenous vein bypass grafts.
TL;DR: Balloon angioplasty to treat lesions in venous bypass grafts should be considered a palliative procedure, not a long-term solution, for ongoing progression of coronary artery and vein graft disease.

Operations for coronary artery disease.
TL;DR: The history of coronary artery disease may be divided into three periods, which began in the experimental laboratory in 1932 and has received slow but steady recognition, based on the direct approach to the coronary blood supply itself.

Acute Effects of Elevation of Coronary Sinus Pressure
TL;DR: The evidence presented shows that arterialization of the coronary sinus results in a small retrograde flow from the sinus through capillaries into the occluded artery and it is suggested that this is insufficient to maintain normal myocardial contraction, but probably prevents ventricular fibrillation.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that improved blood supply to ischemic myocardium is a major factor contributing to relief of angina pectoris after saphenous vein bypass surgery is supported.

Revascularization of heart by graft of systemic artery into coronary sinus.
TL;DR: The degree of benefit produced by operation was measured by mortality after ligation of a major coronary artery in an operative group as compared to that in a normal control group, which indicated that the heart was protected by operative methods.

TL;DR: Clinical and experimental observations support the conclusion that after a major artery to an extremity has been ligated the incidence of ischemic necrosis in the extremity is reduced by ligation also of the major vein.
