“…I mpairment of gas exchange after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery utilizing the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) can complicate the early postoperative period. 1,2 In our department as in others, the LIMA is used as the primary conduit in Ͼ 95% of CABG procedures because of its better patency rate. 3 However, several studies have demonstrated that use of the LIMA leads to changes in pulmonary mechanical behavior and a greater decrease in pulmonary function because of the pain associated with the opening of the pleural space.…”

“…3 However, several studies have demonstrated that use of the LIMA leads to changes in pulmonary mechanical behavior and a greater decrease in pulmonary function because of the pain associated with the opening of the pleural space. 2 We hypothesized that pain and decreased pulmonary mechanics resulting in reduced pulmonary function may depend on the insertion site of the pleural drain. We therefore compared lung function parameters in patients with the left chest drain placed from the midline (subxyphoid) to patients with standard intercostal drain placement.…”

“…Many researchers including Burgess et al stated that harvesting ITA (internal thoracic artery) during CABG surgeries increases complications and makes additional contribution to postoperative pulmonary dysfunction [ 13 - 15 ] . Bonacchi et al [ 10 ] indicated chest tube insertion and pleural injury while preparing ITA graft as the reasons for postoperative poor pulmonary function, which seems to support the findings of some researchers [ 10 , 13 , 16 , 17 ] .…”

“…Respiratory abnormalities following cardiac surgery with the use of extracorporeal circulation are well‐documented [5,15–17]. Pulmonary dysfunction after cardiac surgery may be attributable to surgical manipulations including sternotomy [6], harvesting of the internal mammary artery [18,19] and pleurotomy [20]. Possible pulmonary sequelae of CPB are accumulation of extravascular lung water [8], loss of surfactant [11], sequestration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes in the alveolar microcirculation [13] and activation of various mediators as a result of the exposure of blood to non‐endothelial surfaces [21].…”
