Method for Candidate Selection for Radial Artery Harvesting William H. Johnson III, MD, Robert …

Background: As an increasing number of aging patients are being referred for coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG), the radial artery (RA) has gained increasing popularity as a …

Objective Individual studies may be limited by sample size to detect differences in late
survival between radial artery (RA) or saphenous vein graft (SVG) as a second conduit for …

Objectives: In order to determine the best conduit for coronary targets other than the left
anterior descending (LAD) artery, long-term clinical outcomes following revascularisation …

Background. Bilateral internal thoracic artery (ITA) harvesting is significantly underused,
whereas the radial artery is being used with increasing frequency. We have retrospectively …

Coronary artery bypass grafting is one of the most outstanding surgical achievements of the
20th century. Over its 50-year history patient outcomes have become excellent owing to …

Background. Although use of the internal thoracic artery has been shown to improve
outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, the same cannot be said of alternative …

Eighteen years after its first introduction for coronary artery revascularization, the radial
artery (RA) was reinvestigated because of unexpected good long-term results in the early …

OBJECTIVES: To improve patients' acceptance of the radial artery as a graft for coronary
revascularization, we introduced an endoscopic harvesting technique. The aim of this study …

BACKGROUND: Increasing the number of arterial grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) has been linked to improved late survival. Currently, it is not known if these long …
