Measures to Increase Use of Multiple Arterial Grafts for Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

In Brief BACKGROUND: Use of multiple arterial grafts (MAGs) provides superior patency and long-term survival benefit compared with venous grafts during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, MAGs are used infrequently for CABG. We hypothesized that specific measures introduced at our institution would lead to an increase in the use of MAGs. STUDY DESIGN: Use of MAGs before and after introduction of bundled measures was compared....
