Figure 3 Overall survival curves, cardiac deathfree curves and cardiac eventfree curves in diabetic patients were compared according to conduits used for coronary revascularization. In each of these curves, it was demonstrated that diabetic patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with at least one internal mammary artery (IMA) graft received significantly more benefit than those with saphenous veins alone (p < 0.01).
