| Abstract | ||||
| The accumulated evidence suggests the long-term superiority of using BIMA vs single mammary artery (SIMA) in CABG patients. However, the impact of harvesting both IMAs on sternal healing cannot be disregarded, especially with other risk factors, notably diabetes mellitus. This study aims to assess the feasibility of BIMA in diabetic patients undergoing CABG, bearing in mind the technical considerations that mitigate sternal wound dehiscence risks. | ||||
