Historical technique holds no current clinical role; leaves open mechanistic questions on collateral vessel induction for modern research.

Key Points

To describe the theoretical basis and surgical technique of cardio-pericardiopexy for establishing adhesive pericarditis to improve collateral myocardial blood supply.
Evaluated the surgical induction of adhesive pericarditis to stimulate extra-cardiac and intercoronary collateral vessel formation.
Analyzed compensatory vascular mechanisms in response to progressive coronary artery occlusion and resulting myocardial ischemia.
Demonstrated that collateral circulation can adaptively develop to counteract arterial occlusion and prevent myocardial infarction and fibrosis.
Proposed cardio-pericardiopexy as an operative intervention to revascularize ischemic myocardium when coronary blood flow fails to meet cardiac demand.
