The distinction is useful: faster early recovery does not prevent progression of disease in other native arteries. Measured early recovery MIST randomized 170 patients suitable for both routes; one-month SF-36 physical-component scores averaged 45.1 with MICS versus 42.2 with sternotomy. Longer-term repeat treatment In a separate 566-patient cohort followed for a mean seven years, 49 underwent repeat revascularization. Why repeat procedures occurred Progression of native coronary disease was the most frequent reason for further revascularization in that cohort.
