Skeletonized bilateral internal mammary artery grafting for patients with diabetes.
To minimize sternal ischemia, skeletonized internal mammary artery (IMA) harvesting has been performed in the last few years. The benefits of skeletonization in high risk patients, such as diabetic patients undergoing bilateral IMA grafting, are unknown. A total of 99 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a pedicled bilateral IMA between 6/1/1997 and 5/31/2000...
متن کاملBilateral skeletonized internal mammary versus single-pedicled internal mammary grafting in the elderly.
BACKGROUND The use of the bilateral internal mammary arteries has been reserved mainly for younger and low risk patients. AIM To assess the safety and efficacy of BIMA grafting in older patients (> or = 70 years). METHODS We reviewed the records of all consecutive patients > or = 70 years old who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery with a BIMA graft in our institute over a 2 year perio...
متن کاملBeta-adrenoceptor-mediated responsiveness of human internal mammary artery
The internal mammary artery (IMA) is currently the preferred conduit for myocardial revascularization. However, pre-operative vasospasm and a hypoperfusion state during maximal exercise may limit its use as a bypass graft. The mechanism of spasm has not been clearly defined. Since β-adrenoceptor activation plays a major role in vasorelaxation, the present study was carried out to investigate th...
متن کاملEffect of topical vasodilator on internal thoracic artery blood flow. A placebo-controlled clinical study
Objective: The internal thoracic artery (ITA) is the conduit of choice for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To avoid spasm of the ITA various topical vasodilators have been suggested either intraluminally or by topical application. In order to describe the best vasodilating agent for preparation of the ITA, a randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical work was performed in a gro...
متن کاملIdiopathic internal mammary artery aneurysm
Aneurysms of the internal mammary artery are extremely rare, and their presentation and treatment are variable. Since these aneurysms often tend to rupture and cause haemothorax and life-threatening conditions, the knowledge of secure treatment options is indispensable. We here report the case of an idiopathic internal mammary aneurysm in a 46-year-old man. Open surgical resection of the aneury...
