Abstract

Multiarterial grafting (MAG) in coronary artery bypass (CABG) has been associated with improved survival and graft patency. Despite this, MAG utilization remains low. Several possible configurations using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and the right internal thoracic (RITA) or radial (RAD) artery exist, however, equipoise remains with respect to ideal configurations. This uncertainty has led to complexity in operative planning and may be a factor limiting more widespread adoption of MAG.
