The present status of the aortocoronary bypass procedure is described in general terms by a review of the first 1040 patients who received this operation in Toronto, before November 15, 1973. The operative risk was related to the status of the left ventricular function. In those with fair or good ventricular function the risk of hospital mortality was less than 3% in the entire series and less than 2% in the past year. Advances in investigative and surgical techniques have allowed this operation to become an increasingly safe, effective and recommended procedure for patients suffering from medically intractable angina pectoris. The operation has been of great benefit to such individuals. In addition it has been an effective stimulus to research and development in Canadian cardiology and cardiovascular surgery.
通过回顾1973年11月15日前在多伦多接受该手术的首批1040例患者，以概述的方式描述了主动脉冠状动脉搭桥手术的现状。手术风险与左心室功能状态有关。在心室功能良好或尚可的患者中，整个系列的医院死亡率风险低于3%，过去一年低于2%。检查和手术技术的进步使该手术对于患有药物治疗难以控制的心绞痛的患者而言，日益成为一种安全、有效且值得推荐的手术。该手术对这类患者大有裨益。此外，它对加拿大心脏病学和心血管外科的研究与发展起到了有效的推动作用。
