The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is considered the criterion standard vessel for use in
coronary artery bypass grafting. In recent decades, countless studies have documented its …

Coronary surgery provides better long-term outcomes than percutaneous coronary
intervention. Conventional practice is to use a single arterial conduit supplemented by …

Background: Once occluded, the radial artery becomes unsuitable for repeat interventions
and obligates the need for alternative vascular access, such as the femoral approach, which …

Background Previous studies suggested only the radial artery and the No-touch (NT)
technique were effective in reducing graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting …

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 …

Background: The ulnar and radial arteries are the major source of blood supply in the hand,
as they form the superficial and deep palmar arches. Arterial hand circulation is one of the …

In our experience, employing a radial artery in combination with an internal thoracic artery
under specific conditions represents a superior option compared to using a vein graft in …

Thorough knowledge of the anatomical variations of the arterial pattern of the upper limb is
of high clinical importance in many medical fields, from surgery to nursery and …

Introduction: The global recognition of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) and total arterial
grafting (TAG) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is increasing. However, many …

Objective Although the radial artery graft has an adaptive property to flow demand, its flow
characteristics in aorto-coronary sequential bypass grafting are not well elucidated. We …
