Coronary Revascularization in Young Patients

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

From 1978 to 1982, 92 of our 1704 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery were 40 years of age or younger. Eighty-six were male and six were female. The main indications for surgery were refractory angina and unstable angina. A family history of heart disease, smoking, and hypertension were major risk factors. The majority of patients had triple vessel disease, and six had left main lesions. Left ventricular function was moderately or severely impaired in 24.
