[Surgical treatment of post-infarction aneurysms using the tunneling method].

The work is devoted to the development of new methods of surgical treatment of postinfarction aneurysms. An experience with performing 25 operations of tunneling the myocardium of the left ventricle and aneurysmoplasty has shown the possibility of performing such operations in patients when it is impossible to perform the direct aortocoronary shunting and aneurysmectomy under conditions of extracorporeal circulation.

[Clinicodiagnostic aspects of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis].

Forty patients with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis have been studied. It was established that these patients had early signs of cardiac insufficiency (cardiac palpitations, fainting fits, dyspnoea) as a result of morphological changes in the myocardium (micro- and macrofocal cardiosclerosis). With the aid of contrast methods of investigation and phonography it was shown that in microfocal cardiosclerosis the index of the systolic murmur varies from 0.
