Total Arterial Revascularization: A Superior Method of Cardiac Revascularization

Main Zone, Mobile Zone, Perfusion Zone

For over 40 years, the left internal thoracic artery has been used as the gold standard for myocardial revascularization and anastomosis over the left anterior descending artery due to its excellent patency rates. However, the right internal thoracicartery behaves in the same manner as the left, also having excellent long-term patency. Hence, no patient should be deprived of the benefits of total arterial revascularization allowed by the bilateral use of both internal thoracic arteries.
