Bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts (BITA) have recently emerged as the preferred alternative for patients undergoing CABG. The advantages include improved long-term patency rate and improved survival rate. Certain patients who have previously undergone CABG can require a second procedure known as a redo CABG. This could be due to the progression of coronary artery disease or the failure of the attached conduit. Redo CABG is a more challenging procedure as the patients are generally older, have more comorbidities, and have more sclerotic arteries.
