Abstract
Late patencies of RITA are excellent, equivalent to the LITA for identical territories, always better than radial arteries and saphenous vein grafts, and remain free of atheroma. Use of RITA in addition to LITA is associated with excellent survival in triple-vessel coronary disease. More extensive use of the RITA in CABG is recommended.
