Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, despite the recent developments both in preventions and therapy. Total arterial myocardial revascularization (TAMR), represents a central surgical methodology against the struggle of CAD. In modern cardiac surgery, TAMR displays an excellence in the field of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), which dominates as the commonest cardiac surgical procedure for the treatment of every significant stenosis in CAD.
