Aim: to assess clinical efficacy and expediency (appropriateness) of simultaneous single stage combined coronary stenting and closure of atrial septal defect.

Materials And Methods: Of total number of patients who underwent endovascular correction of atrial septal defect (ASD) (n=91), in 6 (6.6 %) the procedure of endovascular repair of secondary ASD was combined with performed at same session oronary stenting.

Y configuration of the internal thoracic arteries in myocardial revascularization.

This paper describes the short-term results of surgical myocardial revascularization in 35 patients. Y configuration from one or two internal thoracic arteries was applied for bypass grafting of the left coronary artery. In 4 patients with truncal stenosis of the left coronary artery (LCA) or proximal stenoses of the anterior interventricular artery (AIVA) and circumflex artery, the length of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) appeared adequate for creation of Y bypass and revascularization of the entire LCA pool.

[The results of direct myocardial revascularization in patients with various forms of coronary heart disease].

The authors analyzed the results of aortocoronary bypass surgery in correlation with the condition of the shunts and the native blood vessels. According to this analysis, 92.9% of the shunts were passable within 7.
