Conduits in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Modern cardiac practice in the United States is conservative when it comes to using bilateral internal mammary or radial artery grafts in coronary artery bypass surgery. Here, we examine the evidence regarding using other arterial grafts instead of veins as a complement to left internal mammary artery in surgical revascularization.

Coronary artery bypass grafting in the elderly

American Heart Journal, 1997
Summary Although common sense still dictates caution when prescribing bypass surgery in elderly patients, the use of this procedure is increasing. With greater experience, outcomes from surgery in the elderly have significantly improved over time despite higher preoperative risk profiles.

Robotic coronary artery bypass grafting

Journal of Robotic Surgery, 2010
Robotically assisted surgery enables coronary surgery to be performed totally or partially endoscopically. Using the Da Vinci robotic technology allows minimally invasive treatments. We report on our experience with coronary artery surgery in our department: patients requiring single or double vessel surgical revascularization were eligible.

Pharmacology of coronary artery bypass grafts

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
Spasm of arterial and venous graft conduits can occur both during harvesting and after the graft is connected. Attempts to overcome spasm during harvesting by probing or hydraulic distension can cause structural damage to the graft, which may impair short- and long-term patency.

Ulnar Artery as a Coronary Bypass Graft

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
The ulnar artery has been used as a coronary bypass graft in 8 patients when it was deemed unsafe to harvest the radial artery after evaluation of the arterial circulation in the forearm and hand.The ulnar artery was removed from the lower three quarters of the forearm, along with its satellite veins.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in the Elderly

Chest, 2000
The incidence of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in elderly patients has been increasing. We retrospectively analyzed the results of CABG performed at Shin-Tokyo Hospital between January 1, 1991, and December 31, 1998. Preoperative, perioperative, and follow-up data of patients > or = 75 years old (group E, n = 190) were collected, and compared ...

Redo coronary artery bypass grafting

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is more challenging than primary CABG in many aspects. Patients who undergo redo CABG are older, more comorbid, and with more sclerotic coronary and noncardiac arteries than seen in primary CABG. Operative procedures are more complicated, reentry of the sternum is sometimes problematic, and dissection of the ...

Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976
In our last 150 consecutive revascularization operations, 30 patients (20%) have had 4 or more bypass grafts. One patient died after quadruple grafting (mortality, 3%). Twenty-two (75%) of the survivors have been rehabilitated to active work status and 25 (86%) were considered by their cardiologists to have improved function postoperatively by New York

Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
In recent years reoperative coronary artery bypass surgery has become increasingly more commonplace. This article reviews the current status of this procedure with regard to patient population, risk factors, and long-term follow-up. Important aspects of the specific technical considerations involved in reoperative surgery are also reviewed and ...

Contemporary coronary artery bypass grafting

Frontiers of Medicine, 2014
Current evidence clearly demonstrates that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the "gold standard" treatment for most patients with multivessel and left main stem disease. This article summarizes the relevant evidence basis demonstrating that CABG, in comparison to stenting, reduces mortality and subsequent myocardial infarction and the need
