Off-pump Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting.
BACKGROUND The long-term benefit of bilateral internal thoracic grafts (BITA) is well established. BITA grafting is often avoided in diabetic, female, obese, elderly and other high-risk patients because of concerns for deep sternal wound infection. The objective of this study is to analyse early results of our BITA grafting and to establish the safety of BITA use in all patients. METHODS All ...

BACKGROUND We compared the outcomes in propensity score-matched high-risk patients (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation [EuroSCORE] ≥ 5) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery using bilateral or single skeletonized internal thoracic artery (ITA). METHODS AND RESULTS Of 794 consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (788 by...
متن کاملDoes off-pump bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting increase operative risk in dialysis patients?
BACKGROUND We compared short-term outcomes of patients with chronic dialysis receiving bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting with single internal thoracic artery (SITA) grafting using propensity score analysis. METHODS Between 2002 and 2008, 656 consecutive patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (99.1% off-pump). Of these, 56 patients with chronic dialysis an...

متن کاملOff-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left main disease: is it really safe?
In the October 2009 issue of your journal, Thomas et al. [1] report the safety of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in patients with left main disease (LMD). However, although they address in their introduction the fact that patients with LMD are at higher risk of having calcified ascending aortas (AAs), they do not discuss this issue any further. Heavily calcified aortic root r...
