Total Arterial Revascularization with Radial Artery and Internal Thoracic Artery T-Grafts Is Associated with Superior Long-Term Survival in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

It may display a promising alternative to conventional use of a single ITA supplemented by saphenous veins. PMID: 31956169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
