Abstract

Objectives: Several studies have shown a clear benefit of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting over single-ITA. However, the impact of the revascularisation strategy on outcome is still not known. We compared coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with BITA in situ and BITA as T-graft regarding perioperative data, quality- of-life (QOL) and mid-term postoperative follow-up.
