The radial artery is commonly used as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting. No data
exist on the effects of radial sheath insertion on radial artery function. Because many …

The radial artery (RA) is often selected as the next conduit of choice following the internal
thoracic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting operations (CABG). Radial access …

Objectives: We sought to assess the extent and nature of radial artery injury after transradial
intervention (TRI) using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Background: Although TRI has …

BACKGROUND: The radial artery is proposed as an alternative conduit in coronary
revascularization. During the last years the transradial approach has, in many centers …

This article summarizes the current research on the benefits of using the transradial
approach for percutaneous procedures and the radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery …

The use of calcium channel blockers to prevent arterial spasm has resulted in the re-
emergence of the radial artery as a conduit for coronary bypass grafting. There is concern in …

Background: There is a lack of evidence for the choice of the second conduit in coronary
surgery. The radial artery (RA) is a possible option, but few data on very-long-term outcomes …

To test the feasibility of using guiding catheters equal to or greater than 7 Fr in transradial
coronary intervention (TRI), we measured the inner diameter of the radial artery (RA) and its …

Background The radial artery has been used for coronary artery bypass surgery for more
than 25 years. The recent confirmation of the clinical benefits associated with the use of the …

The radial artery (RA) is a commonly used conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting, and
recent studies have demonstrated that it provides superior long-term patency rates to the …
