[Comparative analysis of conservative and surgical treatment of the imminent myocardial infarct].

It is reported on 108 patients with the symptoms of the impending myocardial infarction, of whom 80 patients were treated conservatively. 51 patients developed a fresh definitive myocardial infarction. 28 patients were surgically treated, 5 of them died. Therefore, in patients with instable angina pectoris the possibility of an early coronary-surgical intervention should be taken into consideration to prevent the development of a definitive myocardial infarction.
