13. A comparison of early mortality and morbidity after single and bilateral internal mammary artery grafting with the free right internal mammary artery.
OBJECTIVE--To compare differences in early mortality and morbidity in patients receiving a single internal mammary artery graft (SIMA) with those receiving bilateral internal mammary artery grafts (BIMA) with a free right internal mammary artery (RIMA). DESIGN--Retrospective analysis of 150 patients undergoing BIMA grafting between 1989-1992 who were careful

14. Short-term results of bovine internal mammary artery use in cardiovascular surgery.
Over a 14-month period, 28 bovine internal mammary arteries (Bioflow, Bio-Vascular, Inc.; St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) were implanted in 20 patients at our institutions. In 8 patients, the bovine internal mammary artery was used to bypass coronary vessels: in 4 of these patients, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed because of coronary disease (1 type-

15. Coronary Endarterectomy Combined with Vein Patch Reconstruction and Internal Mammary Artery Grafting: Experience with 18 Patients
Over a 19-month period (from November 1985 to June 1987), 18 patients underwent open coronary endarterectomy combined with vein patch reconstruction and internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting. All 18 patients had disabling angina and severe, diffuse coronary atherosclerosis that prevented revascularization by conventional means. Thirteen underwent open endar

16. Unusual subclavian steal phenomenon.
A patient who had undergone myocardial revascularization with a saphenous vein graft to the left anterior descending artery and a left internal thoracic (mammary) artery graft to the 1st diagonal branch presented with an unusual form of subclavian steal syndrome. Occlusion of both the left subclavian and the left anterior descending arteries caused retrograd

17. Stenting for occlusion of the subclavian arteries. Technical aspects and follow-up results.
We report the results of stenting in 17 patients who underwent treatment for total occlusions in the subclavian arteries between July 1991 and December 1995. Fourteen of the lesions were located in the left side; 15 patients had a subclavian steal syndrome. The indications for treatment were vertebrobasilar insufficiency (n = 7); arm claudication (n = 5); ve

18. Sternal wound infections in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting using bilateral skeletonized internal mammary arteries.
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the risks of sternal wound infections in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization using bilateral skeletonized internal mammary arteries (IMAs). BACKGROUND: The skeletonized IMA is longer than the pedicled one, thus providing the cardiac surgeon with increased versatility for arterial myocardial revascularization with

19. Immunohistostaining Assays for Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae in Atherosclerotic Arteries Indicate Cross-Reactions with Nonchlamydial Plaque Constituents
Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae antigens in PCR-negative atheromata by immunohistochemistry assays has given rise to controversies regarding a link between the bacterium and atherosclerosis. One hundred ninety-seven human arterial segments removed surgically were examined for C. pneumoniae DNA by conventional PCR with three different primer pairs and by re

20. Desirability of immediate surgical standby for coronary angioplasty.
OBJECTIVE--To assess the value of emergency surgical standby for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. DESIGN--Retrospective review of the major complications of coronary angioplasty in a regional cardiac centre. SETTING--All angioplasties were performed in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory of Wythenshawe Hospital with surgical standby in an a

21. Determinants of the length of stay in intensive care and in hospital after coronary artery surgery.
BACKGROUND--Patients who have coronary artery surgery normally occupy intensive care beds for less than 24 hours. Longer stays may result in under use of cardiac surgical capacity. One approach to optimise surgical throughput is prospectively to identify fast track patients--that is, those who occupy an intensive care bed for less than 24 hours. A prospectiv
