Abstrakt: This article discusses the long-term outcomes of using bilateral mammary artery (BIMA) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Germany. The study included 354 patients who underwent CABG using BIMA between 1989 and 1993. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and secondary endpoints included myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, stroke, and cardiac cause of mortality. The results showed high survival rates at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, as well as low rates of repeat revascularization. The study concludes that using BIMA for CABG in Germany yielded excellent 20-year outcomes with minimal need for repeat revascularization. [Extracted from the article]
