Why the study?

Does age at operation affect internal thoracic artery graft patency in patients undergoing CABG for Kawasaki disease sequelae?

Structured PICO

Does age at operation affect internal thoracic artery graft patency in patients undergoing CABG for Kawasaki disease sequelae?

Population

244 patients (188 male, 56 female) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for coronary sequelae of Kawasaki disease, age at operation ranging from 1 to 44 years (median 11 years).

Intervention

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts.

Comparator

Age at operation <12 years versus ≥12 years.

Outcome

Internal thoracic artery (ITA) graft patency rates at 1, 5, and 15 years.hard clinical

CABG using internal thoracic artery grafts for Kawasaki disease sequelae shows favorable long-term patency in patients aged 12 or older, while LVEF <40% is associated with a poor prognosis.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Lower ITA patency in patients <12 years at CABG; leaves open age-specific graft strategies in Kawasaki disease sequelae.
