Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery Grafting Enhances Survival in Diabetic Patients
Tóm tắt
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing at an unprecedented rate, affecting nearly 8% of the population. Previous studies have demonstrated a potential benefit for surgical over interventional revascularization in this group of patients. Similarly, studies have shown the superiority of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting over single internal mammary artery (SIMA) grafting in select populations. However, concerns about sternal wound infection have discouraged the use of BIMA grafting in diabetics. Therefore, we studied the long-term results of BIMA versus SIMA grafting in a large population of diabetic patients in whom BIMA grafting was broadly applied.
Between February 1972 and May 1994, 1107 consecutive diabetic patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with either SIMA (n=646) or BIMA (n=461) grafting. Optimal matching with the propensity score was used to create matched SIMA (n=414) and BIMA (n=414) cohorts. Cross-sectional follow-up (6 weeks to 30.1 years; mean, 8.9 years) determined long-term survival. There was no difference in operative mortality, sternal wound infection, or total complications between matched SIMA and BIMA groups (operative mortality, 10 of 414 [2.4%] versus 13 of 414 [3.1%];
Compared with SIMA grafting, BIMA grafting in propensity score–matched patients provides diabetics with enhanced survival without any increase in perioperative morbidity or mortality.
