The increasing number of patients of more advanced age undergoing cardiac surgery means the number of those with previous curative (relapse free) mastectomy and irradiation of the chest is also increasing. A higher incidence of postoperative complications such as sternal infection in these patients is considered possible. Furthermore the question of whether mediastinal irradiation leads to a relevant internal thoracic artery (ITA) gaft damage remains unclear. In this context the benefit of arterial revascularization (CABG) using one or both ITAs is not sufficiently proven by data available from clinical studies.
