Abstract
Even after successful CABG, some collaterals with earlier filling of the LAD remain, mainly through the septum. Although the clinical significance remains to be clarified, complex and diffuse atherosclerosis associated with more distal graft anastomoses may contribute to maintaining collaterals after CABG to the occluded LAD, especially in diabetic patients.
