Background Graft stenosis may be associated with future graft failure. The purpose of this
investigation was to compare graft stenosis between radial artery (RA) grafts and saphenous …

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 …

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 …

Background The use of radial-artery grafts for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may
result in better postoperative outcomes than the use of saphenous-vein grafts. However …

Purpose The selection of optimal grafts for the right coronary artery remains controversial.
This study aims to evaluate the short-and long-term results of radial artery (RA) grafts and …

Background In the past decade, the radial artery has frequently been used for coronary
bypass surgery despite concern regarding the possibility of graft spasm. Graft patency is a …

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the long-term graft patency rate of
the radial artery (RA), in comparison to the saphenous vein (SV) in patients harvested for …

OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether use of radial artery versus saphenous vein grafts
during coronary artery bypass grafting reoperations is associated with a significant long-term …

Background—Little information exists regarding mid-term and long-term patency of radial
artery grafts. Methods and Results—We performed restudy coronary angiography at 5.2±0.4 …

Discussion The RA is widely believed to achieve a better graft patency rate than the SVG
when grafted on coronary arteries other than the left anterior descending artery, despite a …
