The present study was undertaken to assess the results of LIMA grafting in the elderly. From 1980 through 1988, 723 patients 70 years of age or older had isolated coronary artery bypass grafting performed ...

Abstract The internal mammary artery is considered the best available conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery.1 Indeed, the incidence of atherosclerosis of mammary arteries is much lower than that of coronary arteries;2 a routine angiographic evaluation before coronary artery bypass surgery is considered useless by most cardiac surgeons. We report
