surgery (CABG), and to compare early and mid-term survival outcome. Methods: Data were …

Radial artery (RA) is the most popular arterial graft after the left internal thoracic artery in
both low-and high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Various arterial …

Background—Given its proven survival benefit, left internal thoracic artery to left anterior
descending (LITA-LAD) grafting has become a fundamental part of CABG. This grafting also …

The radial artery (RA) graft was revived in late 1980 s when it was found that the graft was
patent 13–18 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after improvement of the …

Intratracheal instillation serves as a model for inhalation exposure. However, for this,
materials are dispersed in appropriate media that may influence toxicity. We tested whether …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare early and midterm clinical outcomes in patients
receiving a right internal thoracic artery or a radial artery as the second arterial conduit for …

Objective (s) We conducted a meta-analysis of propensity score-matching (PSM) studies
comparing long-term survival of patients receiving right internal thoracic artery (RITA) versus …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the angiographic patency rates of grafts
used for coronary artery bypass surgery. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 930 …

Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is increasingly being carried out on patients with
multi-vessel coronary artery disease, but the best grafting candidate for non-left anterior …

We reviewed the published literature on the clinical and angiographic outcome of radial
artery (RA) grafts and on the comparison between the RA and the other conduits used in …
