The number of operations increased and except of classical revascularisation with cardiopulmonary bypass and ischaemic heart arrest several new methods were introduced. Less invasive approach, especially without cardiopulmonary bypass is used more frequently due to technical development in stabilizing systems. The use of arterial grafts became a standard. Due to the improvements in surgical technique and postoperative care the significance of traditional risk factors decreased. The early results improve in spite of older patients with more risk factors are operated on every year.
