ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Increasing interest in the use of arterial conduites is based on the better patency of the internal thoracic artery(ITA) than the saphenous vein graft and the hope that other arterial conuits will perform similarly over the long term. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
Between May 1997 and July 1998, 43 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with ITA and the radial artery(RA). There were 28 men and 15 women with a mean age of 61.5 years(range, 35 to 78). In 43 patents, 30 bilateral ITA(including 7 diabetes mellitus, 5 more older 70 years), 8 bilateral ITA only, 2 left ITA and both RA, 11 left ITA and left RA and 22 both ITA and left RA were used.RESULT:
There was 1 hospital mortality. Of the 42 patients alive, 39 patients are asymptomatic. Postoperative complications were postoperative bleeding in 1 patients, and low cardiac output syndrome in 3. Follow-up angiography was performed in 5 patients after the operation(mean 3 months), and all ITA & RA grafts showed excellent results.CONCLUSION:
We conclude that complete arterial revascularization with internal thoracic artery and radial artery is technically feasiale with low mortality and morbidity, and but long term follow-up is needed.
