Objectives This meta-analysis compares total arterial revascularization (TAR) versus
conventional coronary artery bypass and additionally to two arterial grafts. Methods We …

Background Harvesting technique and surgical strategy may affect patency rates of
saphenous vein (SV) grafts in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). We evaluated …

Objective The Saphenous Vein Versus Right Internal Thoracic Artery as a Y-Composite Graft
(SAVE RITA) trial was designed to evaluate the noninferiority of the saphenous vein (SV) …

Objectives We compared 10-year graft patency rates and long-term clinical outcomes after
off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using the saphenous vein composite grafts based …

Objectives We compared the 5-year graft occlusion rates and midterm clinical outcomes of
saphenous vein composite grafts with those of right internal thoracic artery composite grafts …

Although coronary artery bypass grafting has been the standard of care for patients with
complex coronary artery disease for over 50 years, the evolution of graft patency over time in …

Background Randomized trials show high long‐term patency for no‐touch saphenous vein
grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting. The patency rate in off‐pump coronary bypass …

Background We compared 5-year graft patency rates and midterm clinical outcomes of
saphenous vein (SV) composite grafts with those of total arterial (TA) composite grafts in …

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the efficacy of minimally manipulative surgical strategies to
harvest the saphenous vein for use in a Y-composite graft based on the left internal thoracic …

Background We evaluated whether revascularization using a Y-composite graft based on
the left internal thoracic artery (ITA) is sufficient for patients with 3-vessel disease. Methods …
