Mashup Score: 1Arterial Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Who, When, and Why - 10 month(s) ago
When selecting conduits for coronary artery bypass, long-term patency, survival benefit, and patient factors such as coronary atherosclerotic burden and comorbid conditions are the primary influences on surgical decision-making (Fig. 1). Previous studies have shown that multiple arterial conduits offer a survival benefit,1 but the observational design of this work makes the findings subject to…
