We present the results of an acute revascularisation program for unstable angina. Of the 63 consecutive patients included in the program 61 had significant coronary artery disease. Coronary bypass grafting was performed in 39 and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in 9. There were two perioperative myocardial infarctions and one death in hospital. 13 patients were found unsuitable for revascularisation. At follow-up (14-26 months) 60 patients were still alive (95%). In the revascularised group 30 patients (65%) were free of angina pectoris. Accordingly, in patients who do not respond to medical therapy, acute revascularisation may be performed with low operative mortality, low incidence of perioperative myocardial infarctions, and good long term results.
