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 کاملatherosclerosis of the internal mammary artery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting
in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. this study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (ima) in patients undergoing cabg. during two months period, 79 patients (66 male and 13 female with a medium age of 58 years) undergoing myocardial revascularization had a biops...
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 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...
