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

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

OBJECTIVES Observational data suggest that the use of a single internal thoracic artery
(SITA) may result in inferior outcomes compared with bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) …

BACKGROUND: Despite many large-volume studies on the use of bilateral internal thoracic
artery (ITA) grafts, the benefits of a bilateral (B) ITA graft over a single (S) ITA graft for CABG …

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 …

OBJECTIVES Multiple arterial coronary artery grafting (MABG) improves long-term survival
compared with single arterial CABG (SABG), yet the best second arterial conduit to be used …

Objective This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in propensity matched
patients receiving right internal thoracic artery (RITA) or radial artery (RA) as second arterial …

In 1999, a seminal paper from the Cleveland Clinic demonstrated that patients treated with
two versus one internal thoracic artery (ITA) coronary grafts have better long-term survival …

Background We sought to identify the trends in bilateral internal thoracic artery use and
determine the degree to which the survival advantage of bilateral internal thoracic artery …
