The internal thoracic artery is the most effective conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery;
however, most patients have multivessel disease and require additional saphenous vein or …

Introduction The efficacy of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for patients with
ischemic heart disease is dependent on the patency of the selected conduit. The left internal …

Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD)
artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated (class of recommendation [COR] I, level of …

For over a decade there has been accumulating evidence that the use of more than a single
arterial graft during coronary artery bypass grafting can improve clinical outcomes. However …

BACKGROUND: To avoid late vein graft atheroma and failure, we have used arterial grafts
extensively in coronary operations. The radial artery (RA) is the conduit of second choice …

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the most commonly performed cardiac surgical
procedure. Conduit selection is crucial to achieving early optimal outcomes, with graft …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine native coronary artery patency 1 year after
coronary artery bypass grafting and to identify clinical and angiographic predictors for the …

A fast computational framework is devised to the study of several configurations of patient-
specific coronary artery bypass grafts. This is especially useful to perform a sensitivity …

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was first used in the late 1960s. This revolutionary
procedure created hope among ischemic heart disease patients. Multiple conduits are used …

Long-term patency of a bypass graft is an important determinant in reducing morbidity and
increasing survival after coronary bypass surgery. The purpose of this review is to analyse …
