Background Several randomized trials have compared the patency of coronary artery
bypass conduits. All of the published studies, however, have performed pairwise …

Background—The best second arterial conduit for multiple arterial revascularization (MAR)
is still a matter of debate. Previous studies on the benefit of either using the radial artery (RA) …

The use of the radial artery (RA) as a coronary artery bypass graft has assumed a revival
and thus a multitude of issues have arisen surrounding the routine and widespread use of …

Background There remains uncertainty regarding the second‐best conduit after the internal
thoracic artery in coronary artery bypass grafting. Few studies directly compared the clinical …

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 …

Background—Graft patency is a fundamental predictor of long-term survival after coronary
artery bypass surgery. Left and right internal thoracic artery (arterial) graft patency has been …

Objectives. This study sought to evaluate the routine use of radial artery (RA) grafts in
patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization. Background. Previous long-term …

BACKGROUND: The second best conduit for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is
unclear. We sought to determine if the use of a second arterial conduit, the radial artery (RA) …

Abstract Objectives The Arterial Revascularization Trial (ART) was designed to compare 10-
year survival in bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery grafts. The intention-to-treat …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of arterial grafting on long-
term coronary artery bypass grafting mortality. METHODS: Consecutive coronary artery …
