Background: The survival advantages of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts in coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the time-dependent influence of BITA on long-term survival in elective CABG patients presenting with stable multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
Methods: Data from 3,693 patients undergoing isolated CABG with single internal thoracic artery (SITA) or BITA, with or without additional vein grafts, between 2002 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Saphenous venous grafts remain the most widely used conduits in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Data comparing outcomes of single saphenous venous grafting (SinCABG) versus sequential venous grafting (SeqCABG), however, are limited.
Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, 2375 patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease underwent isolated elective CABG at the Leipzig Heart Center with a left internal mammary artery graft to left anterior descending artery and ≥2 distal saphenous vein graft anastomoses.
Article Synopsis
- Total arterial revascularization through minimally invasive CABG shows better outcomes than traditional methods, despite being less commonly performed and associated with risks like sternal infections.
- A study analyzed 186 patients who underwent this procedure over five years, revealing a high 5-year survival rate of 93.3% with low rates of serious complications.
- The results suggest that this approach is effective and safe for selected patients, highlighting the importance of specialized care in achieving positive surgical outcomes.
Background: The optimal timing of surgical revascularization after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is controversial, with some suggesting higher mortality rates in patients undergoing early surgery. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of the timing of surgical revascularization on 30-day mortality and long-term outcomes in these patients.
Methods: Retrospective single-center analysis of patients with STEMI undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between January 2008 and December 2019 at our institution.
Introduction: Saliva is a clinically informative biological fluid that contains many biomarkers, allowing multiple analyses to be performed.
Aim: The objectives of this study were the assessment of the serum and saliva levels of biochemical parameters and intensity of free radical processes in T2DM patients and the identification of the correlation between certain criteria.
Methods: This case-control study included 40 T2DM patients, which were compared with 40 healthy individuals.
