Objective. Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting provides improved graft patency
and potential survival advantage in selected patients as compared to single left internal …

Background—Bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) demonstrated superiority over other
grafts to the left coronary system in terms of patency and survival benefit. Several BITA …

Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting is considered a superior choice for coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG). While the 10-year outcomes of BITA grafting from the recent …

Background Despite evidence that bilateral internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) improve long-
term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), uptake of this technique remains …

OBJECTIVES To compare different configurations of the bilateral internal thoracic arteries for
the left coronary system and examine early and late outcomes, including mid-term graft …

Background The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to left anterior descending (LAD) artery
bypass remains the reference standard for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. With the …

Background Despite their well-established advantages, bilateral internal thoracic arteries
(BITA) are still largely underused. This is partly because of the technical complexities …

Background. Although conceptually sound, the use of multiple internal thoracic artery (ITA)
bypass grafts to improve long-term clinical results remains controversial. This operation …

Background—Bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) have demonstrated superior patency
and improved survival in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the …

Background It is generally agreed that using a bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA)
composite graft improves long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) …
