Effect of bilateral internal thoracic artery harvesting on deep sternal wound infection in diabetic patients: Review of literature
Abstract
Instead of its documented superiority of patency and long-term outcomes, the bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts are underused in the general population, and its use is controversial and debatable in diabetic patients due to long surgery duration, post-surgical bleeding, and sternal wound complications such as sternal wound infection, mediastinitis, and sternal wound dehiscence. This review article is particularly focused on deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts in diabetic patients with comparison to single internal thoracic artery (SITA) graft.
Keywords: Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA); Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI); Diabetes mellitus (DM); Single internal thoracic artery (SITA).
