Implication

Supports feasibility in select cases; leaves open randomized trials on survival and symptom benefit.

Key Points

This research focuses on the survival outcomes and effectiveness of coronary endarterectomy in patients with myocardial infarctions.
Removal of tunica intima strips from the coronary arteries in two patients with myocardial infarction.
Surgical technique applied after successful experimental animal trials.
Monitoring of blood flow improvements post-operation.
Both patients successfully underwent coronary endarterectomy and are the first reported survivors.
Patient one experienced restoration of vigorous pulsatile flow; patient two's anginal pain was completely relieved.
Both patients have resumed significant daily activities, including part-time work.

Does coronary endarterectomy improve survival and blood flow in patients with myocardial infarction and coronary obstruction?

Population

n=2 men (ages 51 and 52) with myocardial infarctions and partial obstruction of a lateral branch of the left circumflex coronary artery.

Intervention

Coronary endarterectomy (removal of tunica intima / endarterial curettage)

Outcome

Survival and restoration of blood flowhard clinical

This early report demonstrates the initial feasibility and survival of patients undergoing coronary endarterectomy for coronary obstruction.
