Abstract
Arterial grafting has been demonstrated to confer long-term survival advantages to patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Arterial revascularization may be achieved through the sole utilization of sequential Bilateral Internal Mammary Arteries (BIMA) in a Y-graft construct, or the use of BIMAs with additional radial arteries (RA).

Arterial revascularization may be achieved through the sole utilization of sequential Bilateral Internal Mammary Arteries (BIMA) in a Y-graft construct, or the use of BIMAs with additional radial arteries (RA)
Group A had a higher proportion of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50% (26.8% vs. 20.9%; p = 0.046)
Summary
Comparing use of BIMA in a Y-graft configuration to BIMA with additional radial artery use during CABG: Two institutional study Background/Introduction Arterial grafting has been demonstrated to confer longterm survival advantages to patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Arterial revascularization may be achieved through the sole utilization of sequential Bilateral Internal Mammary Arteries (BIMA) in a Y-graft construct, or the use of BIMAs with additional radial arteries (RA). Aims/Objectives We assessed the long-term survival of these two approaches.
