Background: There is a lack of evidence for the choice of the second conduit in coronary
surgery. The radial artery (RA) is a possible option, but few data on very-long-term outcomes …

The radial artery is being reintroduced into clinical practice to increase the number of arterial
grafts for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. The radial artery is readily …

Background. The radial artery (RA) has been used extensively by us as a way of reducing
the use of the saphenous vein. It has been hoped that the RA will maintain greater late …

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 …

Background—No information is available on the long-term results of radial artery (RA) grafts
used as coronary artery bypass conduits. Methods and Results—In this report, we describe …

OBJECTIVE This study aimed at evaluating the clinical and angiographic results of the radial
artery (RA) used as a coronary bypass graft over 20 years. METHODS Clinical follow-up was …

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: 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 …

Previous long-term studies have shown unsatisfactory patency of saphenous vein grafts,
compared with internal mammary artery grafts. Recently, the use of the radial artery as a …

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