[Perioperative complete right bundle branch block after aorto-coronary bypass surgery (author's transl)].

In 322 patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, the possible factors responsible for the development of intraventricular conduction disturbances were investigated. In 18 patients (5.6%), complete right bundle branch was observed perioperatively, 2 of whom also demonstrated left anterior hemiblock.

[Surgical treatment of occlusive coronary artery disease. Methods and results (author's transl)].

A brief history of the development of coronary heart surgery is presented. Modern methods include the aorto-coronary bypass using saphenous vein graft or the thoracic internal artery, and the resection of ventricular aneurysm. The own experience with a group of 262 patients revealed a total mortality of 11,4%.

Until 1974 146 patients underwent coronary surgery in Hamburg. The total mortality rate for the first 100 postoperative days was 16,3 per cent. In the last years the mortality was reduced to 14 per cent.
