2017, Indian Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :The objective of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is to ameliorate the symptoms of patients with coronary artery disease and of long– term survival benefit.1 The use of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to bypass stenosed left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery as a surgical strategy in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting has demonstrated improved survival which may be due to the higher rates of long-term patency of LITA grafts.2–4 The evidence of improved survival from several observational studies is so convincing that over 95% of patients undergoing CABG in the Unites States and 90% of patients in United Kingdom receive at least one ITA graft.5,6

2013, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The positive benefits of ITA grafting on long-term survival, freedom from cardiac events, reoperation, and graft patency are well documented.19,20 Lower operative mortality also has been reported in the general population undergoing CABG.21-23 However, outcomes with ITA grafting in the early post-MI state have not been studied, and in the present analysis, ITA grafting in patients with MI in less than 24 hours was associated with a halving of operative mortality.
