Background—The radial artery has been increasingly used in CABG. However,
angiographic outcome data have been limited. Methods and Results—We reviewed all …

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 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 …

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: 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 …

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 …

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 …

Background. Few data exist regarding angiographic predictors of radial artery patency for
coronary bypass grafting, and the benefit of calcium antagonists is not clear. Methods. One …

Background. To avoid remote cardiac events associated with graft occlusions, arterial
conduits are being increasingly utilized in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The …

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 …
