Should 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 کاملCoronary bypass grafting with bilateral internal thoracic arteries and the right gastroepiploic artery.
Now that coronary artery bypass grafting has entered its fourth decade, cardiac surgeons unanimously agree that arterial grafts yield a more satisfactory long-term clinical outcome than do autologous saphenous vein grafts. With time, venous grafts are vulnerable to accelerated atherosclerosis, which may necessitate high-risk repeat coronary bypass surgery. In contrast, arterial grafts are highl...
متن کاملEditorial Minimally - Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary diseases/surgery; myocardial revascularization; surgical procedures minimally invasive. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the gold standard for the definitive treatment of coronary disease. With the advent of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, cardiac surgery fell behind, especially for the treatment of oneand two-vessel coronary artery disease, which made surgeons leave th...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass with only in situ bilateral internal thoracic arteries and right gastroepiploic artery.
BACKGROUND With the rapid advance of catheter intervention, the direction taken by surgeons is not only to make conventional CABG less invasive but also to pursue better long-term results by using more arterial conduits. METHODS AND RESULTS Between July 1989 and April 2000, 239 patients (218 men, 21 women) with a mean age of 59.7 (range 39 to 79) years underwent CABG with exclusive use of bot...
متن کاملSimple exposure of the internal thoracic artery for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass.
A simple method is described for harvesting a pedicle of internal thoracic artery for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting with the use of a small scapular retractor. The technique has been used successfully in 39 patients. All patients were followed up early postoperatively by angiography, and the patency rate was 96%. Follow-up angiography (mean [and standard error] 9.6 [4.8] mo...
