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 octogenarians

Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001
Preoperative profiles, postoperative complications, and the early and late results in 32 patients 80 yrs of age and older (elderly group) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were compared with those in patients under 80 yrs of age (control group). In the elderly group, the prevalence of patients with preoperative creatinine clearance (Ccr.) &

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
