Objectives Relative rates of early graft failure and conduit selection in coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) surgery remain controversial. Therefore, we sought to determine the …

In April 1968, René Favaloro published his first description of the coronary artery bypass
graft (CABG) surgery (1). In the 50 years since then, CABG has been arguably the most …

Background The aim of this study was to compare short-term outcomes and long-term
survival in patients following coronary artery bypass grafting in whom second arterial conduit …

The internal thoracic artery is the most effective conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery;
however, most patients have multivessel disease and require additional saphenous vein or …

BACKGROUND: The second best conduit for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is
unclear. We sought to determine if the use of a second arterial conduit, the radial artery (RA) …

Aim The aim of the present study was to investigate the relative importance of a wide array of
patient demographic, procedural, anatomic and perioperative variables as potential risk …

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the long-term differences in survival between
multiple arterial grafts (MAG) and single arterial grafts (SAG) in patients who underwent …

Background We used a large patient-level data set including 6 angiographic randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) on coronary artery bypass conduits to explore incidence and …

Objective Individual studies may be limited by sample size to detect differences in late
survival between radial artery (RA) or saphenous vein graft (SVG) as a second conduit for …

Background In contemporary coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the association
between symptomatic graft failure (GF) and long-term clinical outcome remains unclear. We …
