[Model for practicing suture technics for reconstructive surgery on coronary vessels].

Surgery on coronary vessels requires high surgical skill. For this reason generally, operations on experimental animals are carried out for exercise. These operative interventions require an extensive display of technique and personnel. A phantom, i.e. an arrested perfused porcine heart, was used to exercise the surgical technique. Material and personnel could be spared by this way, and a great number of exercising operations was performed. The phantom is described and its efficiency discussed.

[Limitations of and criteria for a coronary thrombosis model].

The increasing frequency of cardiac infarction and its close correlation with coronary thrombosis urge to seek for new therapeutic approaches to coronary thrombosis. Proper models are necessary for that. The principles hitherto published are reported as well as the limits of their reliability, and the demanded criteria of a pattern of coronary thrombosis are demonstrated.

[Experimental model of coronary thrombosis in the closed thorax in swine].

Coronary thrombosis was induced in 14 miniature pigs by means of direct current. The induction electrode was introduced via the common carotid artery into the coronary artery. The intensity of current (1 mA) and the duration of current flow (60 min) were kept constant in all the experimental animals. 6 miniature pigs survived the period of observation (48 h). In all instances, an injury to the intima was the morphopathological location factor. With the exception of one animal, which died after an induction time of 60 min, coronary thrombosis was stated in all the miniature pigs. The experimental arrangement which produces closed-thorax coronary thrombosis is suited for cardiosurgical, physiopathological and pharmacological experiments, especially because the anatomy and the degree of development of the porcine heart are most similar to those of the human heart.

[Experimental coronary thrombosis in dogs. Morphologic investigations (author's transl)].

By means of electric induction without opening the chest in 23 dogs coronary thromboses were produced with the aid of a standardized method based on a test model of Salazar (1961). The morphological results are reported. 13 of the dogs showed coronary thromboses. At the same time in 12 animals a myocardial infarction could be registered. Altogether, we observed 17 myocardial infarctions. The electric field led to differently severe lesions in the walls of the coronary arteries. The significance of this test model is discussed.

[Morphologic investigations on experimental coronary thromboses in pigs (author's transl)].

With the aid of a standardized method basing on a report of Salazar (1961) coronary thromboses in pigs were produced by means of electric induction without opening the chest. 12 of 13 pigs showed thromboses in coronary arteries, in 8 animals with embolization of the thrombotic material. At the sametime in 8 pigs a myocardial infarction could be registered. The significance of these experiments discussed.

[69. Significance of work load electrocardiographic studies with reference to coronarographic findings].

The electrocardiography after work is assumed as an essential diagnostic aid in the evaluation of the chronic ischaemic heart disease. Differences in the diagnostic relevance of the results are related to the test method used. Therefore, comparison with the findings of selective coronary angiography is necessary, though the subject of ECG after work are functional changes, but that of coronary angiography are morphological ones. This study gives the comparison of both methods in 84 patients. In patients with coronary artery construction (greater than 75%) the diagnostic possibilities of ECG after work are limited. With regard to these patients it is pointed out that except of the obstruction of coronary arteries, as it is to be documented by selective coronary angiography, there are several further factors favourising coronary insufficiency, such as diminished perfusion of the peripheral coronary vessels, high levels of catecholamines, metabolic disturbances, diminished oxygen transport capacity or oxygen delivery. This may also explain the relatively low specifity of 60% of the ECG after work in the recognition of obstructive coronary artery disease.

[An experimental model of electrically-induced coronary thrombosis in the closed chest].

The authors report on an experimental model of coronary thrombosis, electrically induced in the closed thorax. By this technique they succeeded inducing coronary thrombosis with myocardial infarction in 13 cases out of 21. In three cases just disseminated myocardial necrosis was proved. All of the other animals showed vast myocardial infarctions. Coronarography, arterial pressures, typical shifts of serum enzymes, decrease of thrombocytes and fibrinogen and elevation of spontaneous fibrinolysis during the first hours proved to be valuable for the confirmation of successful inducing of thrombosis; in individual cases, however, these estimations yield no absolute certainty.
