Supports multiple arterial grafting in CABG; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm in broader populations.
Does myocardial revascularization with at least two arterial grafts provide favorable mid-term clinical outcomes in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting?
Myocardial revascularization with at least two arterial grafts provides excellent mid-term survival and freedom from cardiac events, though outcomes are less favorable in redo-operations or when the RIMA is not used.
