Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of target vessel characteristics
on radial artery patency when used as a composite T graft. Methods: Between October 1993 …

Objective: Radial arteries are gaining widespread acceptance as complementary arterial
conduits for surgical myocardial revascularization, but there are limited reports about its …

Despite a revival of interest in using the radial artery as an alternative conduit for myocardial
revascularization, little angiographic documentation of early postoperative results has been …

OBJECTIVE: The radial artery is frequently the second graft of choice after the left internal
thoracic artery in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. However, the optimal radial artery …

BACKGROUND.: Use of the radial artery for coronary artery bypass grafting is controversial.
METHODS.: Between November 1992 and December 1994, the radial artery artery graft was …

Objective: To verify the effect of location and severity of stenosis of the target coronary artery
(TCA) on mid-term patency of aorta-anastomosed vs. internal thoracic artery (ITA) …

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: The radial artery (RA) can be used as either an aortocoronary (RA-Ao) or
composite graft (T graft). Optimum use for the RA has yet to be established. We compared …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term results of use of the radial artery
as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: After revival of the technique in …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the angiographic results of the radial artery
as a coronary bypass conduit at long term (> 5 years). METHODS: Radial artery grafts were …
