Abstract
Bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting is a reasonable revascularization strategy in suitable patients up to age 70 years. As benefits of arterial grafting become more obvious over time, a longer period of follow-up will be needed to confirm the advantage of a BITA grafting strategy. In the meantime the BITA grafting advantage for patients older than 70 years is not clear.
