Long-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...
متن کاملAnalysis by early angiography of right internal thoracic artery grafting via the transverse sinus : predictors of graft failure.
BACKGROUND There has been debate regarding whether technically demanding right internal thoracic artery (RITA) grafting via the transverse sinus can be extensively applied to patients in high-risk groups, such as patients with a small body size, elderly patients, and woman with relatively smaller coronary artery and internal thoracic artery (ITA) diameters. METHODS AND RESULTS Of the 1456 pat...
متن کاملImpact of double internal thoracic artery grafts on long-term outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting.
We performed this study to determine if bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts provide greater benefit than single internal thoracic artery grafts. Six hundred ninety-four consecutive patients who received 2 coronary grafts in a single operation during 1983-1989 were given 10 years of follow-up and then analyzed retrospectively. Group 1 (n=382) received 2 internal thoracic artery grafts, Gro...
متن کاملAssessment 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 کاملLong-term patency of internal mammary artery bypass grafts: relationship with preoperative severity of the native coronary artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Internal mammary artery conduits (IMA) have an excellent long-term patency rate. Nevertheless, graft closure does occur and significantly limits future revascularization options. We sought to investigate the relationship between the long-term patency of IMA with clinical and angiographic parameters. Particularly, the preoperative degree of stenosis of the relevant bypassed coronary v...
