Resumo

We investigated whether extended arterial grafting with three or more arterial grafts in patients with a left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending artery graft improves survival in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients and whether its effects will depend on the extent of coronary artery disease; specifically three-vessel disease (3VD) versus two-vessel disease (2VD).
