Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting using the skeletonized right gastroepiploic artery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of right gastroepiploic artery use in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: A total of 428 patients who underwent minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting from February 2012 to February 2024 were included into this retrospective cohort study. The selection criteria for right gastroepiploic artery use included satisfactory artery size and length, significant stenosis (99% to 100%) of the right coronary artery, and unsuitable ascending aorta for partial clamping. Results: The study cohort comprised 70 men and 8 women, with an average age of 63.6 ± 10.5 years. The right gastroepiploic artery was used in 18.2% (78 out of 428) of cases, without the aorta being touched in all these cases. Total arterial revascularization was achieved in 93.6% of cases and complete revascularization was achieved in 98.7%. Notable postoperative outcomes included zero in-hospital mortality, an incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation of 9.0%, and a median intensive care unit stay of 2 days. Surgical site infections occurred in 7.5% of patients. Conclusions: The use of the right gastroepiploic artery in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting is a viable option for achieving total arterial revascularization without touching the ascending aorta, enhancing the rate of optimal clinical outcomes.
