Pedicled bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting (BITA) has been discouraged in historical high-risk groups such as diabetes mellitus (DM), renal failure, old age, and obesity because of reported high incidence of mediastinitis. However, considering the fact that there are abundant short and long-term results including angiography study about the conventional pedicled grafts, it might be worthwhile reassessing the results of pedicled BITA grafting with modern techniques by a disciplined surgical team before abandoning the method.
