Despite 2 decades of supportive evidence, both from single institutions [1] and several meta-
analysis [2–4], reporting benefits of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts, their …

Background: Whether a second arterial conduit improves outcomes after multivessel
coronary artery bypass grafting remains unclear. Consequently, arterial conduits other than …

Background: Whether the use of the radial artery (RA) can improve clinical outcomes in
coronary artery bypass graft surgery remains unclear. The ART (Arterial Revascularization …

Graft patency determines prognosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Numerous
reports over the past 20 years have documented superior patencies and prognosis when …

Introduction The efficacy of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for patients with
ischemic heart disease is dependent on the patency of the selected conduit. The left internal …

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) …

Background In the past decade, the radial artery has frequently been used for coronary
bypass surgery despite concern regarding the possibility of graft spasm. Graft patency is a …

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the survival benefit derived from using radial
artery (RA) as a second arterial conduit in combination with internal thoracic artery (ITA), as …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the angiographic patency rates of grafts
used for coronary artery bypass surgery. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 930 …

Background. This study sought to determine whether extensive arterial grafting reduces the
prevalence and consequences of infarct after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods. Post …
