Despite encouraging late outcomes, the use of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting for myocardial revascularization in diabetic patients remains controversial because of an increased risk of sternal complications. In the present study, early and long-term outcomes of the routine use of left-sided BITA grafting in insulin-dependent diabetic patients were reviewed retrospectively.

Abstract
Despite encouraging late outcomes, the use of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting for myocardial revascularization in diabetic patients remains controversial because of an increased risk of sternal complications. In the present study, early and long-term outcomes of the routine use of left-sided BITA grafting in insulin-dependent diabetic patients were reviewed retrospectively.File in questo prodotto:
