Bilateral internal mammary artery grafting: are BIMA better?
The clinical and prognostic benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are well accepted for certain subgroups of patients with ischaemic heart disease, and as many as one million patients undergo this operation annually on a worldwide basis. Most CABG patients require grafting of the three main native coronary arteries; for the last 15 years the “standard” operation has achieved this u...
متن کاملSkeletonized 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 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 کاملBenefit of bilateral over single internal mammary artery grafts for multiple coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafts in isolated CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS Beginning in April 1985, elective primary multiple CABG for multivessel disease was performed in 1131 patients. The early and late results of 688 patients who received single internal mammary artery (SIMA) grafts and 443 patients who receive...
متن کاملOff-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 ...
