This study is based upon a series of 32 patients all of whom were operated on by Dr. Claude S. Beck. The operations were of two types. The first operative group comprised cases of cardiac anastomosis,1for angina pectoris and coronary sclerosis, of which there were 24 cases. The second group were cases of resection of compressive pericardial scars2for chronic cardiac compression (Pick's disease), of which there were eight cases,...References1.
