Concerns have been raised regarding the accuracy of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) anastomosis performed during minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). In a prospective study, we tested the hypothesis that transthoracic Doppler echocardiography is an adequate technique to determine LITA patency when compared to "gold standard" postoperative angiography.
