The level of total arterial myocardial revascularization implementation in developed and developing countries remains quite low.</p> <p><strong>The aim</strong>. Based on the analysis of our own experience, to determine the influence of the technique of total arterial revascularization on the frequency of complications in the early postoperative period.</p> <p><strong>Materials and methods</strong>. From February 22, 2016 to December 24, 2020, 390 consecutive patients were operated at the Ukrainian Children’s Cardiac Center. The patients were divided into two groups: participants of the group I underwent total arterial myocardial revascularization, and those includedin the group II underwent conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The inclusion criteria were: ischemic heart disease, stable angina or exertional angina, multivascular coronary artery disease, absence of valvular pathology.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>. There was zero 30-day mortality in both groups. The frequency of postoperative bleeding was higher in group II and amounted to 1.6%. Surgical wound complications (infection) were also more common in the group II: 1.2% versus 0.69% (p=0.906) in the group I. Similarly, laboratory parameters such as the level of creatine kinase-MB were almost identical.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>. Total arterial myocardial revascularization is a safe method with good immediate results. The frequency of complications in total arterial myocardial revascularizationdoes not differ from that in conventional CABG. For a wider application of the total arterial myocardial revascularization,it is necessary to continue toconduct studies of the remote postoperative period.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Ukrainian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery}, author={Pukas, Oleksandr Yu. and Rudenko, Nadiya M.}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={33-38} }
