AbstractThis study aimed to examine the influence of diabetes on the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and saphenous vein (SV) graft failure for 5-year follow-up. We enrolled 202 patients who underwent isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in 2014, angiographic follow-up occurred at 5 years after surgery. Angiographic outcomes in patients with or without diabetes were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of graft dysfunction. A total of 66 (32.7%) patients had diabetes. Five-year rates of LIMA and SV graft failure were similar in patients with and without diabetes. In addition, in diabetics, the proportion of complete graft failure was significantly lower in the LIMA grafts (12/66, 18.2%) than in the SV grafts (57/133, 42.9%) (P = .001). In nondiabetic, the proportion of complete graft failure was also significantly lower in the LIMA grafts (28/136, 20.6%) than in the SV grafts (105/275, 38.2%) (P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mean graft flow (MGF) was an independent predictor factor for LIMA (odds ratio = 1.186, 95% CI = 1.114-1.263, P < .001) and SV (odds ratio = 1.056, 95% CI = 1.035-1.077, P < .001) graft failure. Diabetes did not influence the patency of LIMA or SV grafts over a 5-year follow-up. LIMA grafts should be maximized in patients undergoing off-pump CABG surgery. Diabetes does not affect the patency of grafts CABG. Using angiography, our study proved that diabetes does not affect the patency of grafted vessels after CABG for 5 years.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
