Background—Use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in multivessel coronary artery
disease improves survival after coronary artery bypass graft surgery; however, the survival …

Importance Although the long-term survival advantage of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) vs
the standard use of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) supplemented by saphenous vein …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of arterial grafting on long-
term coronary artery bypass grafting mortality. METHODS: Consecutive coronary artery …

BACKGROUND Complete revascularization after coronary artery bypass surgery is a logical
goal and improves symptomatic outcome and survival. However, the impact of complete …

Background: Observational studies have shown better survival in patients undergoing
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with 2 arterial grafts compared with 1. However …

Objective (s): We evaluated our experience to investigate if the use of bilateral internal
mammary artery (BIMA) grafting, with or without complementary saphenous vein grafts …

OBJECTIVES The long-term advantages of multiple arterial grafts, particularly a third arterial
conduit, for coronary artery bypass (CABG) are not clear. This study was designed to test …

Background: Little evidence shows whether a third arterial graft provides superior outcomes
compared with the use of 2 arterial grafts in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass …

Background: Despite recent guideline statements, there is still wide practice variation in the
use of multiple arterial grafts (MAGs) versus single arterial grafts (SAGs) for patients with …

Importance Sex-related differences in the outcome of using multiple arterial grafts during
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain uncertain. Objective To compare the …
