Lecture 1 Pdf Pdf Conclusions and relevance: this post hoc analysis of the compass randomized clinical trial found that harvesting of the internal mammary artery during cabg surgery using a skeletonized technique was associated with a higher rate of graft occlusion and worse clinical outcomes than the traditional pedicled technique. The superiority of skeletonized internal thoracic arteries is a consolidate belief among coronary surgeons based on retrospective study and benefit for wound infection.

Lecture01 Pdf Pdf There are two recognized internal mammary artery (ima) harvesting techniques during coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg): pedicled and skeletonized. this systematic review and meta analysis sought to compare the clinical outcomes of the two harvesting techniques. This post hoc analysis of the compass randomized clinical trial investigates whether skeletonized harvesting of the internal mammary artery is associated with higher rates of graft occlusion than pedicled harvesting after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. While pedicled grafts are typically used to graft one artery, skeletonized grafts have better mobilised length and can be used to graft multiple vessels as well as more distal coronary territories. We sought to compare clinical outcomes in skeletonized versus pedicled left internal mammary artery (lima) grafts in elective coronary artery bypass grafting through a systematic review and meta analysis.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures and improves clinical outcomes in appropriately selected patients. 1 the greater saphenous vein is often used in cabg, but arterial conduits, specifically the left internal mammary artery (lima), are used routinely owing to higher long term patency. Left internal mammary artery skeletoni zation results in lower mediastinal drainage after cabg than pedicled lima harvesting. technique, intuitively identi ed by surgeons as crucial for fi perioperative hemostasis, is rather consistent in cabg worldwide.
