Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the early operative results
and detect the factors influencing the fate of radial artery grafts (RAGs) by evaluating the mid …

Background The actual patency rate of the radial artery (RA) grafts 1 week and 1 year after
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has not been extensively reported on. We used …

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

Objective: To determine whether the proximal anastomosis interferes or not in mid-and long-
term patency of these grafts. Methods: One hundred twenty-three out of 481 patients who …

OBJECTIVES Sequential radial artery (RA) grafting has the potential to enhance arterial
revascularization compared to single grafting. Sequential RA grafting was performed …

The aim of this retrospective observational study was to delineate determinants for
antegrade flow and entire patency of the sequential radial artery graft (RAG) in the left …

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 …

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The
question addressed was 'in coronary artery bypass grafting using radial artery grafts, does …

Background—The radial artery is often used as the second arterial graft for coronary artery
bypass grafting. Little is known about the differences in long-term patency between radial …

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 …
