AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explores using a composite graft with the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and either an arterial or saphenous vein (SV) to fully revascularize the left coronary system (LCS) without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or manipulating the ascending aorta (AAM).
- - This method aims to lower the risk of complications immediately following surgery.
- - The findings include an 8-year angiographic follow-up for two patients who underwent the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure, showcasing the long-term outcomes of using LITA and SV as a composite graft.
Article Abstract
The use of a composite graft with left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and arterial or saphenous vein (SV) grafts can allow the complete revascularization of the left coronary system (LCS) without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and without ascending aorta manipulation (AAM), in order to reduce some complications in the immediate postoperative. This study shows 8-year angiographic follow-up results of two patients underwent no-touch aorta off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using LITA and SV as a composite graft to supply LCS.
