Implication
SV graft impairment in diabetes, unlike LITA, warrants conduit choice caution; cross-sectional data leaves open outcome impact and needs prospective confirmation.
Structured PICO
Does type 2 diabetes impair the functional and structural properties of coronary artery bypass conduits in patients undergoing CABG?
P
Population
160 consecutive patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), including 90 with adult-onset type 2 diabetes and 70 without diabetes.
I
Intervention
Type 2 diabetes
C
Comparator
No diabetes (control group)
O
Outcome
Vasoreactivity (contractile and vasodilative responses) and morphological profile (vessel wall structure) of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and saphenous vein (SV) graftssurrogate
Type 2 diabetes negatively impacts the structural and functional properties of saphenous vein grafts, but not left internal thoracic artery grafts, highlighting the importance of arterial grafting and metabolic control in diabetic patients undergoing CABG.
