Results of myocardial revascularization using two thoracic internal arteries under general anesthesia

Abstract

Objective. To evaluate the efficiency and safety of using two thoracic internal arteries during myocardial revascularization.Materials and methods. The study included 32 patients over 18 years of age who were operated on for coronary artery diseases using two internal arteries as an auto-graft. The incidence of postoperative complications was assessed taking into account the proposed criteria for selecting patients.Results. No increase in the number of postoperative complications in the early postoperative period was detected during bilateral internal thoracic artery coronary artery bypass graft.Conclusion. Coronary bypass grafting using two internal thoracic arteries under general multicomponent balanced anesthesia is an effective and safe method of myocardial revascularization. It does not increase the risk of complications in the postoperative period with proper selection of patients.
