Abstract
Bilateral internal mammary artery grafts were used for direct myocardial revascularisation in 72 patients from August 1988 to January 1994. Twenty-five of them had diffuse coronary artery disease. The coronary arteries were small in the majority of patients and 10 patients needed endarterectomy. Two patients died in the hospital. Fifty-nine patients were followed up and the mean time of follow-up was 25 months. One patient died during the follow-up period and another patient developed inferior wall myocardial infarction. Three patients are on antianginal medications and the rest are doing well.
