About This Trial
Internal thoracic arteries can be harvested in skeletonized or pedicled technique. Latest research has posed a potential adverse effect of skeletonizing the internal thoracic arteries on graft patency rates and clinical outcome. Prospective, randomized, multi-centre trials are necessary to investigate the impact of harvesting technique of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) on graft patency rates…
