What are the mortality and flow outcomes of three or more aorto-coronary vein bypass grafts in patients with coronary insufficiency?
Performing three or more aorto-coronary vein bypass grafts achieves thorough myocardial revascularization with a 7% mortality rate using improved techniques.
Robert J. Flemma (1971) studied this question. Triple or more aorto-coronary vein bypass grafts achieved a mean total flow of 175 cc/min and a reduced mortality rate of 7% in patients with coronary insufficiency.
