Presented at the Forty-fifth Annual Meeting of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association, Orlando, FL, Nov 12–14, 1998.
Background. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, outcome, and operative strategies for patients having injury to a patent left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) at coronary reoperation.
Methods. Of 655 patients with a patent LITA graft to the LAD undergoing coronary reoperation from 1986 to 1997, 35 (5.3%) sustained intraoperative injury to the LITA graft.
Results. Strategies to restore flow to the LAD included new saphenous vein graft to the LAD in 15 patients, saphenous vein graft to the LITA stump in 7, saphenous vein graft to the LAD and repair of the LITA graft in 6, and other strategies in 7. All or part of the LITA graft to the LAD was salvaged in 20 patients (57%). Fourteen patients (40%) sustained perioperative myocardial infarction, and 3 patients died (8.6%). The 3 patients who died all had stenosis or thrombosis of the graft to the LAD documented at autopsy.
Conclusions. We conclude that (1) the prevalence of injury to a patent LITA graft is 5.3%; (2) a variety of techniques can be used to restore blood flow to the LAD; and (3) ineffective revascularization of the LAD in this situation is associated with operative mortality. At primary coronary artery bypass grafting, the LITA pedicle should be positioned in the left chest away from the posterior sternal table; this strategy may minimize the risk of LITA graft injury at coronary reoperation.
