Die ersten ernst zu nehmenden Versuche, dic Lungentuberlmlose durch chirurgische Eingriffe zu heilen, fallen in die Jahre 1888 und 1890. Damals trugen Quincke und C. Spengler uber cavernosen Lungenabschnitten die Thoraxwand ab, um dem Lungengcwebe eine ausgiebige Retraction zu ermoglichen. Allerdings musste dies chirurgische Verfahren zunachst vorubergehend zugunsten einer anderen Behandlungs methode zurucktreten. Es war dies die von Murphy und gleichzeitig unabhangig von Forlanini an gewandte Lungenkollapstherapie durch kunstlichen Pneumothorax. Der Wunsch, der chirurgischen Behandlung wieder ihre Rechte einzuraumen, trat sehr bald um so lebhafter hervor, als es sich zeigte, dass eine ganze Anzahl von Lungentuberkulosen der Pneumothorax therapie wegen bestehender Verwachsungen nicht zuganglich waren. Besonders Brauer beschaftigte sich viel mit diesen Fragen und kam zu der Uberzeugung, dass eine ausgedehnte Wegnahme der knochernen Thoraxwand ebenso einen Lungenkollaps hervorrufen musse, wie der kunstliche Pneumothorax. Seinem Vorschlage gemass operierte zunachst Friedrich, dann Sauerbruch, spaterhin Wilms eine grosse Anzahl von Fallen. Es war naturlich, dass sehr bald die Art des Eingriffes in der verschiedensten Weise modifiziert wurde, zumal da die zuerst angewandte Methode Friedrichs der totalen Brustwandentknochung eine ziemlich hohe Mortalitat aufwies. Friedrich nannte den Eingriff "Pleuropneumolysis thoracoplastica," wahrend jetzt der von C. Spengler herruhrende Name "Extrapleurale Thorakoplastik" der gebrauchliche ist. In den letzten Jahren sind an Tuberkulosen Eingriffe der verschiedensten Art vorgenommen worden. Besonders hat Sauerbruch in Zurich grosse Erfahrungen gesammelt und auf Grund seines Materials gewisse strittige Punkte klaren konnen."

Der Leser mage in den folgenden Mitteilungen keine kritiklose Dar- stellung der Methodik und bisherigen Ergebnisse der Registrierung des Herzschalles erwarten. Sie bezwecken vielmehr, ihm ldar und auf- richtig ein zum weitaus graDten Teil eigenes, kritisch gesichtetes Tat- sachenmaterial vorzulegen, nach dessen Studium er selbst imstande sein wird, sich iiber den heutigen Stand der Dinge ein Urteil zu bilden. Ich habe mIT von Anfang an kein Hehl daraus gemacht, daD VOl' allem die skeptische akustische Zergliederung der geschriebenen Kurven den einen Weg, hier voranzukommen, darstellt, zum anderen die Beobachtung auch der kleinsten Vorgange bei del' Aufnahme und die parallele Registrierung des Pulses, insbesondere die Schrift des SpitzenstoDes, eine klarende Methodik bedeutet. Die Mitteilungen ii ber die Schallschrift durch eine Zwischen wand hindurch werden wohl auch die letzten Zweifel an del' Tatsache, daD es heute schon unter giinstigen Umstanden maglich ist, reine Luftschallschwingungen des Herzschalles aufzuzeichnen, beseitigen. lch habe immer mehr die Dberzeugung gewonnen, daD der von mil' benutzte Apparat eine vor- treffliche Einrichtung dazu ist, und werde ihn deshalb, und weil sich die Angaben des zweiten Teiles fast nul' auf ihn beziehen, in erster Reihe hier beriicksichtigen, zumal fUr die anderen Verfahren, wie sich zeigen wird, noch keine evidenten Beweise ihrer Brauchbarkeit vorliegen. Die Methodik ist das Erste bei der Herzschallschrift, die Anwendung und Interpretation, wenn auch die Hauptsache, doch das Zweite. Mediz. -poliklin.

Coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to widen blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, the main blood vessels supplying the heart. The term 'angioplasty' means using a balloon to stretch open a narrowed or blocked artery. However, most modern angioplasty procedures also involve inserting a short wire-mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery during the procedure. The stent is left in place permanently to allow blood to flow more freely (NHS Choices). This book is a complete guide to the practice of coronary angioplasty for practising cardiologists and trainees. Beginning with an introduction to the evolution of the technique and the fundamentals of stent design, each of the following chapters provides in depth detail on angioplasty procedures for different disorders. The final sections discuss potential complications, rehabilitation, outcomes, and the future of angioplasty. This comprehensive text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to enhance learning. Key Points Comprehensive guide to coronary angioplasty for clinicians and trainees Describes the complete evolution of the technique, from its beginnings to future developments Covers angioplasty procedures for many different disorders Highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables
