The impact of obesity on late patency of left internal mammary artery grafts.
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2009, Vol 67, Issue 4
Abstract
Arterial conduits having long-term patency rates have been increasingly used for bypass of coronary arteries although some risk factors for their occlusion such as recipient vessel size, older age, and hyperlipidaemia have been described. Obesity, on the other hand, has been well established as a coronary risk factor. However, the effects of obesity on patency of arterial conduits, especially the internal mammary artery, have not been studied previously.

The process of atherogenesis can be conditioned by the imbalance between the tendency to oxidative modification of the lipoproteins containing apoprotein B100 and antioxidant plasma properties. The paper discusses the si...
