Total arterial myocardial revascularization: analysis of initial experience.
BACKGROUND Total arterial myocardial revascularization is an attempt to overcome the problems of late vein graft atherosclerosis, occlusion and need for coronary re-operations. Despite increasing evidence of efficacy, the use of arterial conduits has not been accepted as a primary practice in most of the centers in Pakistan for various reasons. We analyze our initial experience to assess the fe...
متن کاملTotal arterial revascularization: A superior method of cardiac revascularization.
For over 40 years, the left internal thoracic artery has been used as the gold standard for myocardial revascularization and anastomosis over the left anterior descending artery due to its excellent patency rates. However, the right internal thoracic artery behaves in the same manner as the left, also having excellent long-term patency. Hence, no patient should be deprived of the benefits of to...
متن کاملTotal Arterial Revascularization in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations are one of the most commonly performed sur‐ gical procedures, with a worldwide prevalence of over 800,000 annually and more than 350,000 operations being performed in the United States each year [1]. The use of the left internal mam‐ mary artery (LIMA) is widely considered to be the gold standard for conventional CABG opera‐ tions. Its use has been...
متن کاملArterial Conduits for Surgical Revascularization
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a commonly performed procedure for obstructive coronary artery disease that is not treatable with either medical therapy or percutaneous intervention. It has been well studied and documented that using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) reduces morbidity and mortality compared with using saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) when performing a CABG.1 O...
متن کاملTotal arterial revascularization in patients with acute myocardial infarction – feasibility and outcomes
BACKGROUND In acute situations such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with indication for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), total arterial revascularization (TAR) is often rejected in favour of saphenous vein (SV) grafting, which is assumed to allow for quicker vessel harvesting, a simpler anastomosis technique, and thus quicker revascularization and fewer bleeding complications. The a...
