Summary
Coronary artery bypass grafting using both internal mammary artery (IMA) and saphenous vein grafts showed successful outcomes in patients with complex coronary artery disease. This approach is recommended for those with ascending aorta calcification or severe distal right coronary artery stenosis.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Cardiac Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a significant health challenge, often requiring surgical intervention.
- Graft selection is crucial for successful coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- Internal mammary artery (IMA) and saphenous vein grafts are commonly used in CABG procedures.
