CABG, including with the use of BIMA, can be performed in obese patients without an increased risk of mortality or hospital readmission out to 5 years. Although rates of postoperative DSWI increase with increasing BMI, this finding did not appear to be magnified in patients with BIMA, although the sample size was limited in this subanalysis. These data support the notion that BIMA use should not be precluded in the obese.
