The common occurrence of coronary artery disease in man has led to considerable research concerning the problem of the ischemic myocardium. Many operative procedures have been developed, some of which have been used clinically. However, in contrast to the great advances in other aspects of cardiac surgery, such as congenital heart disease and chronic valvular disease, ischemic heart disease remains in an area in which progress has been slow. At the experimental level, one of the major problems is the assessment of revascularization procedures.(19) Even if some operative procedure can be developed in the experimental animal which is reasonably safe, one is still reluctant to offer this to the patient unless there is sufficient proof that it is likely to be beneficial to him.
