procedure. Conduit selection is crucial to achieving early optimal outcomes, with graft …

Background: An internal thoracic artery graft to the left anterior descending artery is standard
in coronary bypass surgery, but controversy exists on the best second conduit. The RAPCO …

We summarize the evidence on the new strategies for coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG). Hybrid CABG implies surgical grafting of the left anterior descending artery and …

Background We aimed to elucidate current national multiarterial coronary bypass grafting
practice patterns and assess perioperative outcomes. Methods Isolated primary …

Abstract Objectives The Arterial Revascularization Trial (ART) was designed to compare 10-
year survival in bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery grafts. The intention-to-treat …

Objectives Little data exist regarding the potential of external stents to mitigate long-term
disease progression in saphenous vein grafts. We investigated the effect of external stents …

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most frequently performed heart
surgery in Brazil. Recent international guidelines recommend that national societies …

OBJECTIVES Multi-arterial bypass grafting with bilateral internal thoracic (BITA-MABG) or

Ischemic heart disease is currently the leading cause of death globally, with coronary artery
bypass grafting among the most common operations performed worldwide. More extensive …

Introduction: The benefit of total arterial revascularization (TAR) in coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) remains a controversial issue. This study sought to evaluate whether there …
