Objectives: The purpose of this study was to present radial and saphenous vein graft (SVG)
occlusion results more than 5 years following coronary artery bypass surgery. Background …

Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is increasingly being carried out on patients with
multi-vessel coronary artery disease, but the best grafting candidate for non-left anterior …

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery bypass grafting with concomitant coronary endarterectomy
(CABG/CE) is used in patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis to revascularize …

OBJECTIVES The long-term advantages of multiple arterial grafts, particularly a third arterial
conduit, for coronary artery bypass (CABG) are not clear. This study was designed to test …

Objectives We compared 10-year graft patency rates and long-term clinical outcomes after
off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using the saphenous vein composite grafts based …

OBJECTIVES There is a lack of unequivocal evidence basis for selecting the best second
conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We thus aimed to perform head-to-head …

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 …

BACKGROUND: We sought to examine the effect of different conduits on the progression of
atherosclerosis in previously revascularized coronary territories. METHODS: Between 1995 …

Sequential venous coronary bypass grafts have presented problems, mainly because of
commonly reported differences between patency of side-to-side and end-to-side vein …

BACKGROUND: The Radial Artery Patency and Clinical Outcomes (RAPCO) study has
enrolled patients into two trials to compare the radial artery with the free right internal …
