Bilateral internal mammary arteries—are they really enough?

Author: Pradeep Narayan

Published in: Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery | Issue 4/2017

Excerpt

In a retrospective study titled Bilateral internal mamary arteries (BIMA) are enough for total coronary revascularization published later in this issue [1], the authors have presented their experience of multiple arterial grafting and proposed that bilateral internal mammary arteries alone are adequate to revascularize the myocardium. …
