One-year results of total arterial revascularization vs. conventional coronary surgery: CARRPO trial

Aims To investigate clinical and angiographic outcomes after coronary surgery using total arterial revascularization (TAR). Methods and results We randomized 331 patients with multivessel or isolated left main disease to TAR [internal thoracic (ITA) and radial arteries] vs. conventional revasculariz...

Description
Summary:Aims To investigate clinical and angiographic outcomes after coronary surgery using total arterial revascularization (TAR). Methods and results We randomized 331 patients with multivessel or isolated left main disease to TAR [internal thoracic (ITA) and radial arteries] vs. conventional revascularization (CR) using left ITA and vein grafts. The primary angiographic outcome was the patency index: number of patent grafts (
