April 5, 2011 (New Orleans, Louisiana) — The radial artery has outperformed the saphenous vein as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a five-year follow-up of patients with ...

Angiography was performed at one year in 440 patients: 8.2 percent of radial-artery grafts and 13.6 percent of saphenous-vein grafts were completely occluded (P=0.009).

Radial artery graft for the second most important coronary target was associated with lower 15-year all-cause mortality vs. right internal thoracic artery or saphenous vein graft for CABG ...

Researchers randomly assigned 733 patients undergoing CABG to receive either radial artery grafts (n=366) or saphenous vein grafts (n=367). News News CME CME ...

Radial Artery Beats Saphenous Vein Grafting 10 Years After CABG. Ted Bosworth. July 21, 2020. With a median follow-up of 10 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), patients who ...

CHICAGO, IL—For patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, use of radial arteries leads to less MACE over 15 years compared with using either right internal thoracic artery (RITA) or ...

Moreover, radial arteries tended to have less graft disease. Among the 164 patients who had both grafts patent, stenosis greater than 25% was observed at similar levels for both graft types in the ...

Patients undergoing heart bypass surgery lived longer and had better outcomes when surgeons used a segment of an artery from their arm, called the radial artery, instead of a vein from their leg ...

After 1 year of follow-up, the graft patency rate was the same for each of the two groups (radial artery: 89%, 95% CI 86–93%; saphenous vein: 89%, 95% CI 85–93%).
