Bilateral internal mammary arteries: evidence and technical considerations
Vallely MP, Edelman JJ, Wilson MK Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2013 Jul;2(4):570-7 PMID: 23977638 Abstract Bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafts are used for coronary revascularisation by only a minority of surgeons, despite a growing body of evidence suggesting improved survival when compared to use of only one internal mammary artery with additional saphenous vein grafts. … Continue reading Bilateral internal mammary arteries: evidence and technical considerations

In this multi-centre observational study, we sought to determine the 30-day outcomes of anaortic off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) in an elderly and very-elderly population.
