Effectiveness of t-graft (vein in the left internal thoracic artery) in mininvasive coronary shunting in patients with IBS
Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-graft (vein in LVGA) application in mini-invasive coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with CHD.
Material and methods: Retrospectively from October 2012 to February 2023, 1111 patients who underwent CABG from mini-invasive access were analysed for inclusion. Thirty-six (3.2%) cases (T-graft at CB) were included in the study. Primary endpoint was mortality, secondary endpoints were parameters such as: myocardial infarction, stroke and wound infections. The mean age was 67.9 ± 14.2 years (48 to 85 years). Gender: males 24 (66.6%) and females 12 (33.4%). Mean EuroSCORE II score: 3.6 ± 1.4.
Results: There was no mortality in the study group. All operations were performed on a beating heart. The average operation time was 136 ± 34 min. The average number of distal anastomoses was 2. There were no complications related to the operation such as: postoperative bleeding, wound infection and stroke. The average length of stay in the intensive care unit was 1.7 ± 0.7 days. The mean duration of hospitalization was 7.9 ± 1.2 days. The mean follow-up period was 42.4 months (95% CI 36.4.1-46.7). Kaplan-Meier survival estimate showed a 36-month survival rate of 97.8% (95% CI 97.1-99).
Conclusions: The use of T-graft in mini-invasive coronary artery bypass grafting for myocardial revascularization is an effective and safe procedure that demonstrates good immediate and mid-term surgical outcomes in patients with CHD.
