Assessment of internal thoracic artery patency with transesophageal echocardiography during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for assessing patency of internal thoracic artery grafts. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING A university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-one consecutive patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left coronary ...

متن کاملDoxycycline Prevents Intimal Hyperplasia In Vitro and May Improve Patency of the Internal Thoracic Artery
OBJECTIVES The development of intimal hyperplasia and graft failure is an important problem in cardiac surgery. A fundamental process in intimal hyperplasia is the degradation of extracellular matrix by metalloproteases which induces the vascular smooth-muscle cells migration and sets the scene for graft atherosclerosis. This study investigated whether doxycycline, a metalloproteases inhibitor,...
متن کاملInternal thoracic artery graft (ITAG): patency and functional status at rest and during dobutamine-stress echocardiography.
BACKGROUND The patent internal thoracic artery graft (ITAG) usually has a diastolic fraction (DF) > 50% of the flow. The functional assessment can be evaluated by the coronary reserve index (CRI). OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the patency and functional status of the ITAG through echocardiography and Doppler. METHODS Data from sixty-six patients who underwent dobutamine-stress ech...
متن کاملLong-term patency rate of right internal thoracic artery bypass via the transverse sinus.
BACKGROUND Although concern regarding patency and possible compromise of graft blood flow by routing the right internal thoracic artery (RITA) through the transverse sinus has been raised, little is known about long-term patency. METHODS AND RESULTS To evaluate long-term patency of in situ RITA bypass via the transverse sinus, our first 115 patients (94 men, 21 women; mean age, 62.5 years; ra...
