With the extensive use of internal thoracic artery grafts in coronary artery bypass procedures, sequential anastomosis of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to LAD has gained popularity in these challenging cases. The long term results of sequential LITA to LAD anstomosis were examined in this study. SN - 1749-8090 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1749-8090-5-87 DO - 10.1186/1749-8090-5-87 ID - Mert2010 ER -
