Free internal mammary artery for coronary bypass.
An improved technique of free internal mammary artery (IMA) to ascending aorta anastomosis for coronary bypass is described. A small patch vein with a suitable side branch or branches is interposed, connecting the proximal end of a detached IMA to the ascending aorta. A single or double free IMA alone or in combination with an additional saphenous vein graft was performed in 77 patients. A tota...
متن کاملOff-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using a bilateral internal mammary artery Y graft
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) using a bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) Y configuration graft to achieve total arterial myocardial revascularization. METHODS From October 2002 to December 2008, 208 patients (196 males and 12 females) underwent OPCABG using a BIMA Y configuration graft. The average age of the patients was 56.5 ± 1...
متن کاملDoes location of the second internal thoracic artery graft influence outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting?
BACKGROUND We sought to determine whether location of the second internal thoracic artery (ITA) graft used for bilateral ITA grafting affects mortality and morbidity of patients with 3-system coronary artery disease and to identify factors associated with second ITA location. METHODS AND RESULTS From January 1972 to June 2006, 3611 patients with 3-system coronary artery disease underwent bila...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery with Double Internal Mammary Artery: Effect on Long-Term Survival
Background: Utilization of the left internal mammary artery (IMA) in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is associated with long-term survival free from late cardiac events; moreover, use of the right IMA as a complement of the left artery has shown favorable results. However, it is not yet clear whether double IMA revascularization is a better long-term option. Objective: The aim of th...
متن کاملAssociation of Internal Mammary Artery Flow with Different Comorbidities and Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Complications
Objective The internal mammary artery (IMA) is commonly used arterial graft for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The IMA has a better patency and survival. This study considers different comorbidities and conditions where IMA flow may be low. Therefore, the main objective is to determine the flow of IMA in different diseases, its relation to gender, age, and in different blood groups in o...
