graft. An average of 3.2 distal anastomoses were performed. Grafts were placed to the left
anterior descending artery in 98%. In this study, only 16% of patients received an internal …

Objectives: The study was done to derive the optimum definition of complete
revascularization in coronary artery bypass surgery. Background:“Complete …

BACKGROUND: Complete revascularization has been the standard for coronary bypass
grafting. However, surgical intervention has evolved with increasing use of arterial conduits …

Completeness of revascularization after coronary artery bypass operation has been shown
to improve short-and medium-term outcome. The purpose of this study was to assess the …

Objective Complete revascularization literature is limited by variance in patient cohorts and
inconsistent definitions. The objective of the current study was to provide risk-adjusted …

OBJECTIVE: It is unclear (1) whether the use of 2 arterial conduits rather than a single
conduit in multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improves results despite …

Cardiac Data Bank records of 1,238 patients with triple-vessel disease (≥ 50% diameter
reduction) who had undergone coronary bypass surgery were reviewed and divided into 2 …

Background. The feasibility of complete revascularization on the beating heart without
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) as compared with the standard operation with CPB in …

Graft patency determines prognosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Numerous
reports over the past 20 years have documented superior patencies and prognosis when …

Background. The demographics of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) have changed over time and may contribute to differing operative mortality and the …
