Abstract
Preinfarction angina due to severe left anterior descending (LAD) stenosis musjt be differentiated [1,2] from different types of unstable angina because of the important mass of myocardial tissue being threatened. The possibility of clinical diagnosis and the seriousness of prognosis must be emphasized [3,4]. For these reasons, we believe that the preinfarctional angina syndrome requires surgery. In our study bypass grafting was always indicated except in patients with general or technical contraindications.
