Is Total Arterial Revascularization Superior to Multiarterial Grafting in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Retrospective study of adult patients with multivessel disease undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in three centers between January 1st, 2009, and December 31st, 2023. Patients were grouped according to the revascularization strategy (total arterial revascularization vs. multiarterial grafting). Primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).

Inclusion Criteria:

• isolated CABG

Exclusion Criteria:

• single vessel CABG
• CABG with utilization of only one arterial graft
