ABSTRACT Between July 1992 and May 1994, 148 patients (18 females) underwent
myocardial revascularization with a radial artery (RA) graft. The left RA was used in 97.3% of …

BACKGROUND: Four methods of radial artery harvesting were evaluated with transmission
electron microscopy and tissue lipid peroxidation to determine the degree of damage to the …

'The 15-year clinical results of the Radial Artery Patency and Clinical Outcomes randomized
trial comparing radial artery to right internal thoracic artery or saphenous vein …

OBJECTIVES We used individual patient data from 4 of the largest contemporary coronary
bypass surgery trials to evaluate differences in long-term outcomes when radial artery (RA) …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare early and midterm clinical outcomes in patients
receiving a right internal thoracic artery or a radial artery as the second arterial conduit for …

Background Controversy still exists about the superiority of the radial artery (RA) over the
saphenous vein graft (SVG) as a second conduit for surgical myocardial revascularization …

Objective Little evidence shows whether the radial artery (RA) as third arterial graft provides
superior outcomes compared with the use of the bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) and …

Background. Proximal anastomosis of the radial artery to the side of the internal thoracic
artery (ITA) permits complete arterial revascularization in most patients, with the aim of …

BACKGROUND: Previous reports have supported the use of bilateral internal thoracic
arteries to revascularize the left coronary circulation. If this becomes standardized practice …

Objective We sought to determine if the radial artery (RA) or the free right internal thoracic
artery (RITA) is the better conduit to bypass the circumflex coronary artery during coronary …
