  1. Coronary Artery

Total Arterial Revascularization: The Case for BIMA

  • October 26, 2017

By: Sotirios Prapas

Keywords:

  • Cardiac
  • Coronary Artery

Sotirios Prapas of the Henry Dunant Hospital Center in Athens, Greece, discusses the technique of off-pump coronary artery bypass using two internal mammary arteries (IMAs). He presents the different grafting techniques and reviews patient outcomes with this off-pump, IMA-only approach.

This presentation was originally given during the SCTS Ionescu University program at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland.

    Congratulations Sotirios
    Prapas teach us many tricks of his extensive experience in this excelent
    presentation
    In my opinion we need to make efforts to be competitive to learn and reproduce this type of operation by MINI OPCAB or MIDCAB or others minimally invasive options
