Abstract
To assess the long-term results of the surgical treatment of isolated left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis and compare surgical strategies for graft selection, we reviewed 100 consecutive patients receiving left internal mammary arterytoleft anterior descending artery grafts and 100 consecutive patients who received a saphenous vein autograft to the left anterior descending artery. All patients underwent operation from 1971 through 1973. The internal mammary artery and saphenous vein graft groups were equivalent with regard to preoperative clinical and angiographic variables, except that patients receiving left internal mammary artery grafts had a higher prevalence of noncritical disease (less than 50% stenosis) in the circumflex and right coronary arteries than did the saphenous vein graft group. Mean follow-up for the internal mammary artery and saphenous vein graft groups was 18.7 years and 20.7 years, respectively. The 18-year outcome was superior for the internal mammary artery group. Cox regression analysis confirmed that patients with left internal mammary artery grafts had superior survival, intervention-free survival, and event-free survival (all p < 0.01). The presence of noncritical disease in other vessels adversely affected intervention-free survival and event-free survival for both groups (all p < 0.03) and decreased survival for the saphenous vein graft group (p = 0.01) but not for the internal mammary artery group (p = 0.24). We conclude that in long-term follow-up of surgically treated isolated left anterior descending artery stenosis (1) the left internal mammary artery consistently yields better overall and intervention-free survival than does the saphenous vein graft, (2) outcome is influenced by the presence of noncritical disease in other vessels at the initial operation, and (3) deployment of the left internal mammary artery in the treatment of isolated left anterior descending artery stenosis yielded 18 years of intervention-free survival of 60.5% and provides a standard for comparison with other forms of therapeutic intervention.
