Sequential left internal mammary artery usage for complex left anterior descending coronary artery revascularization.
We read with great interest the article by Gucu et al. that is in concern with surgical treatment of the multiple complex stenoses in left anterior descending coronary artery [1]. We congratulate the authors for their good results in such a challenging problem. The primary aim of every cardiac surgeon in concern with coronary artery bypass grafting is complete revascularization with proven good...
متن کاملIsolated left anterior descending coronary artery disease: percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty versus stenting versus left internal mammary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Single-vessel coronary artery disease is usually treated with PTCA; however, this approach when applied to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is hampered by high restenosis rates, often approaching 50%. Coronary stenting (STENT) and left internal mammary artery bypass grafting of the LAD (LIMA-LAD) are other options that have been successfully used for single-vessel L...
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 کاملSkeletonization of Left Internal Mammary Artery in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
OBJECTIVE To compare mean per-operative flow capacity between skeletonized and pedicled left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. STUDY DESIGN Randomized control trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Cardiac Surgery, Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology and National Institute of Heart Diseases (AFIC-NIHD), Rawalpind...
متن کاملMediastinitis after coronary artery bypass grafting increases the incidence of left internal mammary artery obstruction.
Mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) gives a longstanding chronic inflammation and has a detrimental negative effect on long-term survival. For this reason, we aimed to study the effect of mediastinitis on graft patency after CABG. The epidemiologic design was of an exposed (mediastinitis, n = 41) versus non-exposed (non-mediastinitis, controls, n = 41) cohort with two end...
