Bilateral Versus Single Internal Thoracic Artery Grafts
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Several advances have been made in recent years to improve outcome for patients with coronary artery disease. One of the most debated topics regarding surgical treatment with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is graft selection. This review aims to present the current status and scientific evidence for bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting. RECENT FINDINGS ...
متن کاملDouble skeletonized internal thoracic artery vs. double conventional internal thoracic artery in diabetic patients submitted to OPCAB.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of the technique used in the dissection of thoracic arteries in the evolution of diabetic patients submitted to OPCAB. METHODS Seventy diabetic patients submitted to OPCAB using bilateral thoracic arteries were evaluated. In Group A, thoracic arteries were dissected as a pedicle, while in Group B they were skeletonized. RESULTS The mean age of patients in...
متن کاملRandomized Trial of Bilateral versus Single Internal-Thoracic-Artery Grafts.
BACKGROUND The use of bilateral internal thoracic (mammary) arteries for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may improve long-term outcomes as compared with the use of a single internal-thoracic-artery plus vein grafts. METHODS We randomly assigned patients scheduled for CABG to undergo single or bilateral internal-thoracic-artery grafting in 28 cardiac surgical centers in seven countries....
متن کاملIntraoperative and laboratory evaluation of skeletonized versus pedicled internal thoracic artery.
BACKGROUND The skeletonization of internal thoracic artery is postulated to improve graft length, early blood flow, sternal blood supply, and postoperative respiratory function. Concern exists that skeletonization may injure internal thoracic artery, precluding good results of surgery. Reports on endothelial function of skeletonized internal thoracic artery are lacking. METHODS A prospective ...
متن کاملIntimal injury of ultrasonically skeletonized internal thoracic artery by a vessel clamp: morphological analysis.
The skeletonized internal thoracic artery (ITA) has several advantages over a pedicled one in coronary artery bypass grafting. A skeletonized ITA, which lacks surrounding tissue, thus seems more susceptible to the mechanical force exerted by a vessel clamp than the pedicled ITA. The purpose of this study was to assess the detrimental effect of vessel clamps on the intimal integrity of the ultra...
