Noninvasive postoperative angiography for internal mammary artery grafts.
Recently, noninvasive imaging modalities such as electron-beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance angiography, and single-slice helical computed tomography (CT) have emerged as ways to visualize the coronary arteries. With regard to internal mammary artery grafts, however, conventional 3D imaging techniques have failed to demonstrate consistently satisfactory performance. We overcame these...
متن کاملDifferent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts Sequential Saphenous Vein Grafts and Internal Mammary Artery Grafts
Characteristics of blood-flow velocities were investigated at different sites in two types of coronary artery bypass grafts, sequential saphenous vein grafts (SSVG) and internal mammary artery grafts (IMAG). The latter appear to have the longest life span. The patency rate of the side-to-side anastomosis of the SSVG is better than that of the end-to-side anastomosis. The SSVG was anastomosed to...
متن کاملFull myocardial revascularization with bilateral internal mammary artery Y grafts.
BACKGROUND Bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting in coronary artery surgery provides better long term outcomes than single internal mammary artery and saphenous vein grafting but the optimum configuration of BIMAs has not been established. This study analyzed perioperative and late outcomes of patients who underwent BIMA grafting with a composite Y configuration. METHODS Patients ...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal angioplasty of left internal mammary artery grafts.
stenoses or distal native coronary artery stenoses and angina pectoris. The procedure was technically successful in 10 patients and no major complications occurred. During follow up there was one late death, but all 10 surviving patients showed functional improvement. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty seems to be a safe and effective treatment for stenoses of internal mammary artery grafts....
متن کاملBenefit of bilateral over single internal mammary artery grafts for multiple coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafts in isolated CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS Beginning in April 1985, elective primary multiple CABG for multivessel disease was performed in 1131 patients. The early and late results of 688 patients who received single internal mammary artery (SIMA) grafts and 443 patients who receive...
