Coronary Artery Surgery in the Nineties

Based on a Workshop Held November 22-23, 1985 in Salzburg

---

In this book, the latest results in coronary artery surgery are discussed and the factors decisive for long-term prognosis are elucidated. The indications for re-operation are considered and redefined, and the surgical technique with regard to multiple bypass is described. The aim of the book is to depict clearly long-term prognoses and to determinate the future needs of coronary artery surgery in the next decade. This far-sighted approach also makes the book a valuable reference for the planning and extension of cardiology centers in Europe. 1
