Background:

Complete arterial revascularization is crucial for young patients to prevent future reoperations.
Assessing short-term outcomes of arterial graft-only revascularization in a young cohort.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the short-term results of complete arterial revascularization in young patients.
To determine the safety and efficacy of using only arterial grafts for myocardial revascularization.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 385 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization with artery grafts alone.
Follow-up duration of 30 months.
Utilized various arterial conduits including left and right internal thoracic arteries, radial artery, right gastroepiploic artery, and inferior epigastric artery.

Main Results:

No intraoperative deaths occurred.
Hospital mortality was 1.8% (7 deaths), with most fatalities in redo or combined procedures.
Mean of 3.2 distal anastomoses per patient in those with multi-vessel disease.

Conclusions:

Complete arterial reconstruction demonstrates acceptably low operative mortality.
This strategy offers excellent short-term follow-up and is vital for young patients to reduce reoperation rates.
