Dear Francis, thank you for your question. These grafts have excellent long-term durability, so if you do have this type of graft to the LAD and it has been shown to be patent, then there is only a small chance this graft will develop problems. Additionally, the LAD supplies collaterals to the right coronary artery which should limit ischemia in this territory. I can't answer the question about whether you should be considered for redo coronary artery bypass surgery, but if you would like to be evaluated here at the Cleveland Clinic, then please follow the instructions below. I hope you find this information useful.
