Abstract
1. 1. Cardio-pericardiopexy with magnesium silicate was performed in thirty-six patients with coronary artery disease who were partially or completely incapacitated by coronary insufficiency or congestive heart failure. 2. 2. During the follow-up period ranging from three to forty-two months, over three-fourths of the patients have exhibited good or excellent clinical improvement as manifested by decreased angina pectoris, increased exercise tolerance, and ability to return to work. 3. 3. The immediate operative mortality rate was 5.5 per cent (two cases). Two other patients have died of noncardiac causes during the follow-up period. 4. 4. It is concluded that this surgical procedure for revascularization of the myocardium should be applied more widely in the treatment of coronary insufficiency.
