Abstract

We prospectively tested the feasibility of achieving total arterial revascularization with the use of the radial artery to revascularize the circumflex, diagonal, and right coronary arteries combined with a left internal thoracic artery graft to the left anterior descending artery and, in some cases, a right internal thoracic artery graft to the right coronary artery. In 164 patients, the radial artery was used as a free Y or T graft from the left internal thoracic artery. Of 568 grafts (3.5 +/- 1 [standard deviation] per patient), 296 (1.8 +/- 0.8 per patient) were constructed with the radial artery as single grafts or as double, triple, or quadruple sequential anastomoses to the circumflex, diagonal, and posterior descending arteries. Diltiazem was administered to prevent spasm. Forty-six patients underwent coronary angiography before discharge from the hospital. Follow-up time was 1 to 19 (9.5 +/- 6.1) months. Total arterial revascularization was achieved in 137 patients (83.5%). Three (1.8%) died postoperatively of sepsis, ventricular fibrillation, and heart failure, respectively. Three (1.8%) had postoperative myocardial infarction. No hand ischemia occurred. Angiography showed patency of all arterial conduits. Radial arte...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
