Does double internal mammary-coronary artery bypass provide high graft patency in patients with angina?
Double internal mammary artery bypass demonstrates excellent early and one-year graft patency rates, supporting the use of LIMA for LAD reconstruction and selective use of RIMA.
Hendrick B. Barner (1974) conducted an observational in Angina (n=100). Double internal mammary-coronary artery bypass was evaluated on Postoperative graft patency. Double internal mammary-coronary artery bypass demonstrated high postoperative patency rates of 95% for right internal mammary artery grafts and 97% for left internal mammary artery grafts.
