Popis: The authors emphasize advantages of using the internal thoracic artery for mammary-coronary shunts in patients with ischemic heart disease. 257 operations have been performed in the clinic since 1964. Among them there were operations of mammary-coronary anastomosis (after V. I. Kolesov) and mammary-coronary shunts. Long-term results were followed-up which evidence high effectiveness of operative treatment. In 109 patients control angiographic examinations were fulfilled at different terms (up to 12 years). Patency of mammary-coronary shunts was 83.5% as compared with ACSh where it was about 63%.
