Bilateral versus Single Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting Strategies Supplemented by Radial Artery Grafting.
Yonsei Medical Journal 2023 August
PURPOSE: It is unclear if a second or third arterial graft can improve clinical outcomes in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We compared the outcomes of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) plus radial artery (RA) grafting versus left internal thoracic artery (LITA) plus RA grafting after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2009 and December 2020, a total of 3007 patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass were analyzed. Among them, 971 patients received total arterial grafting using LITA. We divided the patients into two groups [group A, BITA+RA grafting (n=227) and group B, LITA+RA grafting (n=744)], and compared the survival and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) rates between the two groups at 10 years.
RESULTS: After risk adjustment with inverse probability treatment weighting methods, the freedom from all-cause mortality was 93.1% and 88.3% in groups A and B, respectively ( p =0.140). The freedom from MACCE rates were 68.3% and 89.0%, respectively ( p <0.0001). LITA plus RA grafting [hazard ratio (HR): 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-2.37, p =0.025] and incomplete revascularization (HR 1.2, 95% CI: 0.70-2.15, p =0.046) were significant risk factors for MACCEs in multivariable Cox regression analysis.
CONCLUSION: The rates of MACCEs were lower with LITA plus RA grafting than with BITA plus RA grafting in total arterial revascularization. Furthermore, complete revascularization improved long-term outcomes following total arterial grafting.
