Title: Postoperative recurrence of angina pectoris after aortocoronary venous graft bypass
Abstract: Fifty-six patients with angina pectoris under-went aortocoronary bypass graft implantation. All subjects had an initial angina-free postoperative period. Twelve patients so operated upon had a return of angina pectoris; their clinical and catheterization findings did not differ in any respect when compared with those in the pain-free group. Eight subjects with occlusion of all aortocoronary grafts denied postoperative angina pectoris. It is concluded that caution should be exercised in attributing the relief of angina pectoris to aortocoronary bypass graft patency.
