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 …

Objectives Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the best therapeutic option for
multivessel coronary artery diseases. The internal thoracic artery is usually used for the left …

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to compare elective angiographic patency and
cardiac event-free survival of the radial artery graft with that of the free right internal thoracic …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether use of radial artery versus saphenous vein grafts
during coronary artery bypass grafting reoperations is associated with a significant long-term …

Context Arterial grafts are thought to be better conduits than saphenous vein grafts for
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) based on experience with using the left internal …

OBJECTIVES Studies suggest that the radial artery (RA) may exhibit superior patency
compared with the saphenous vein (SV). It is unclear whether older patients undergoing …

Background There is ongoing debate regarding the efficacy of the radial artery (RA) as an
aortocoronary conduit, with few solid data regarding long-term clinical results. We sought to …

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 …

Importance Observational studies have suggested that the use of radial artery grafts for
coronary artery bypass grafting may improve clinical outcomes compared with the use of …
