Abstract
Our therapeutic approach to ischemic heart disease has undoubtedly changed during the past 8 years since the introduction of aortocoronary bypass surgery. An overview of the objectives and results of this surgery appears necessary before discussing its place in the treatment of the different clinical manifestations of ischemic heart disease. I shall then discuss firstly the indications generally accepted at the present time, and finally uncertain indications which are advocated by some centers but which remain questionable.
