Understanding the structural characterization of the internal thoracic artery and its correlation with cardiovascular risk profiles is essential to prevent graft failure in coronary artery bypass surgery.
Fonseca et al. (2017) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts vs. Other vessel grafts (e.g., saphenous vein or radial artery) was evaluated on Histomorphological characteristics and preatherosclerotic/atherosclerotic lesions. The internal thoracic artery, while considered the best graft for coronary artery bypass surgery, can develop preatherosclerotic and atherosclerotic lesions in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
