R the possibility of enzymatic digestion of a coronary thrombosis has captured the i~ lagination of investigators. Attempts have been made in the past to supplement the blood supply of an ischemic myocardium by surgically opening the obstructed coronary segment,’transplanting a peripheral artery into the heart muscle, z or stimulating the pericardial capillaries to grow into the myocardium.” These advances in the surgical and medical approaches to therapy are promising. However, the idea of enzymatic digestion of a coronary thrombosis spawns a host of new questions which require new answers.‘The most fundamental of these questions is the actual pathogenesis of occlusive coronary arterial disease. The clinician implies that most coronary occlusions result from a thrombus. Hospital pathologists report the frequency of demonstrable coronary-occlusion underlying a myocardial infarction as 40 to 80 per cent of all hearts examined. This wide range is the result of different technics for coronary examination, Cursory postmortem studies of the coronary arteries demonstrate occlusion in approximately 40 per cent, u? hile the more elaborate injection methods show obstruction in 80 per cent? However, this is only one part of the needed information.
