Is internal thoracic artery resistant to reperfusion injury?: evaluation of the storage of free internal thoracic artery grafts

The in situ internal thoracic artery (ITA) is recognized as the best conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. The ITA - if it is used as an in situ graft - has a much higher late patency rate than any other arterial graft, including a free ITA graft. We sought to determine if the use of the ITA a...

Description
Summary:The in situ internal thoracic artery (ITA) is recognized as the best conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. The ITA - if it is used as an in situ graft - has a much higher late patency rate than any other arterial graft, including a free ITA graft. We sought to determine if the use of the ITA as an in situ/free graft and its storage in preservation solutions, have an effect on endothelial function.
