Total Arterial Revascularization Based on LIMA Flow, the Impact of Composite Grafting on LIMA to LAD

Abstract

Total arterial revascularization (TAR) with joining arteries together as a composite graft with the LIMA as the main source of blood inflow has proved to have advantage over the conventional technique at least in long term; we assessed the flow hemodynamics in this type of surgery with focus on changes in LIMA to LAD flow pattern
