“…The predischarge angiographic patency of 93.5% for the MVP system was very encouraging and compares favorably with other CABG trials with angiographic end points at this time point. 13,14 Of particular note was the 100% patency rate of the MVP in the LITA-LAD position. In the group of hand-sewn anastomosis 3 grafts had a stenosis Ͼ50%.…”

“…Five-year survival ranges between 80% and 95% in different publications including high risk and elderly patients (19)(20)(21). The 5-year survival of our patients after MIDCAB of 93.6%, the 10-year survival of 76.2% and 15-year survival of 67.5% is comparable with other studies (13,14,(19)(20)(21).…”

“…In the light of these considerations, it is has to be stressed that the quality of the MIDCAB procedure can only remain high when performed in centers with case loads adequate to allow surgeons to continuously sustain their skill level [Okawa 2000;Vicol 2003;Holzhey 2007b]. Under these circumstances, MIDCAB is a true alternative to conventional surgery.…”
