Long-term follow-up of total arterial revascularization with left internal thoracic artery and radial artery T-grafts: survival, cardiac morbidity and quality of life

摘要

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the gold standard for the treatment of patients with multiple-vessel coronary artery disease. The long-term outcome can be improved using arterial grafts. We analysed the initial series of patients who underwent total arterial revascularization at our institute using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and radial artery (RA) composite T-grafts and had a follow-up of > 10 years.
