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 کاملOff-pump bilateral versus single skeletonized internal thoracic artery grafting in high-risk patients.
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 کاملShould bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting be used in elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?
BACKGROUND Although bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting is associated with improved survival, the use of this technique in the elderly is controversial because of their increased surgical risk and shorter life expectancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on outcome of patients undergoing bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting. METHODS AND RESULTS Betwee...
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 ...
متن کاملRoutine use of bilateral skeletonized internal thoracic artery grafting: long-term results.
BACKGROUND Skeletonized harvesting of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) decreases the severity of sternal devascularization, thus reducing the risk of postoperative sternal complications in patients undergoing bilateral ITA grafting. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1996 and 2001, 1515 consecutive patients underwent skeletonized bilateral ITA grafting. Of the 1179 male and 336 female patients, 64...
