Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) in multivessel coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, highlighting its technical challenges and the outcomes of surgeries requiring four or more connections.
- Between 2006 and 2009, 251 patients underwent BITA-only CABG, achieving 78% overall survival and 92% cardiac survival rates after five years.
- Major postoperative complications increased mortality risks, and while preoperative kidney failure affected revascularization success, BITA surgery proved to be safe and effective with promising long-term results.
