Sequential composite BIMA grafting for 3v-CAD: factors that predict successful outcome of the one-inflow and two-inflow revascularization techniques

ConclusionsThe two-inflow coronary revascularization by L-T-BIMA  + R-CABG better protects against FMR progression without increasing MACCE and mortality. Older patients with RCA occlusion and reduced LV-EF benefit most from the two-inflow L-T-BIMA + R-CABG technique. Younger 3v-CAD patients with normal LV-EF can preferentially be managed with the one-inf low C-T-BIMA; however, long-term outcome remains to be revealed.
