Graft flow assessment with transthoracic Doppler after coronary arterial bypass grafting with bilateral internal thoracic arteries using Y-graft technique
Abstract:Purpose -The aim of our study is to assess the transthoracic Doppler parameters of left internal thoracic artery`s stem (LITA) flow after coronary artery bypass surgery with free right internal thoracic artery using Y graft technique and compare them with such parameters of LITA-LAD (left anterior descending) graft flow after regular coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Material and Methods -51 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease underwent CABG. Comparison between groups was performed using the… Show more
