Key result
Despite guidelines encouraging multiple arterial grafting for coronary artery bypass grafting, its use remains low and highly variable across North America and Europe.
Why the study?
Do multiple arterial grafts improve clinical outcomes and graft patency compared to single arterial or saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing CABG?
Do multiple arterial grafts improve clinical outcomes and graft patency compared to single arterial or saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing CABG?
This editorial highlights that while guidelines encourage multiple arterial grafting for CABG, the definitive evidence base is still evolving, though current data favors arterial over venous conduits for long-term patency.

Gaudino et al. (2020) conducted an editorial in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG. Multiple arterial grafts (MAG) vs. Single arterial graft was evaluated. Despite guidelines encouraging multiple arterial grafting for coronary artery bypass grafting, its use remains low and highly variable across North America and Europe.
