A 12 1/2-year experience with 227 patients who underwent coronary revascularization with bilateral internal mammary artery (IMA) and supplemental saphenous vein grafts is presented. There were 725 coronary grafts performed (3.2 per patient). Forty-four IMA grafts were sequential. In 42 patients, the right IMA was placed through the transverse sinus to revascularize the circumflex artery. Operative mortality was 4% (9 of 227 patients). Postoperative complications included sternal infection (4 patients), reexploration for bleeding (5), and diaphragmatic dysfunction (10). Postoperative arteriography in 30 patients (mean interval, 4 1/4 years) revealed that 92% (34/37) of the left IMA and 87% (26/30) of the right IMA grafts were patent. Late follow-up was complete in 207 surviving patients. Eighteen late deaths (9 cardiac and 9 noncardiac) occurred. Actuarial survival was 83% at 10 years after operation. Of 68 patients followed from 8 to 12 1/2 years (mean interval, 10 1/2 years), 69% were asymptomatic, and 28% were in New York Heart Association Functional Class II. We conclude that bilateral IMA grafting can be accomplished with low operative risk and provides excellent long-term results.
