Abstract
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using pure BITAs produced excellent clinical outcomes in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. This strategy did not increase the incidence of deep sternal infection in diabetic patients. We recommend BITA grafting, which has proven long-term patency, as a strategy of choice in diabetic patients.
