Excerpt

Despite all emerging interventional techniques, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard for complex coronary artery disease and the most commonly performed cardiac surgical treatment, with a relatively stable number of procedures performed worldwide [1]. Several types of bypass grafts can be used in CABG surgery, and there is a lively and ongoing debate about total arterial revascularization [2]. …
