Abstract
Coronary sinus ligation was first performed by Gross, Blum and Silverman around 1935. Beck's work exploited the idea of blood redistribution and popularized this procedure. Vineberg, working with the principle that bringing new blood to the heart was more important, developed the Ivalon sponge operation. In this experimental study, an attempt was made to show if the combination of these two principles might add benefit to each individual revascularization procedure. Secondly, some details of the Ivalon sponge operation were evaluated.
