[Importance of the type of blood supply to the heart in reconstructive surgery of the coronary arteries].

Anatomical data on the type of the heart blood supply are reported. Based on anatomical studies on 35 hearts, the author found the right type of blood supply in 24 cases, the left type in 4, and balanced in 7 cases. The study of coronarograms of 100 operated patients and data of the intraoperative diagnosis indicated that anatomical variants of coronary arteries extension fully agree with coronarography findings. At the same time there was no definite dependence between the type of cardiac blood supply and the degree and character of coronary arteries affection.
