Radial artery bypass grafts have an increased occurrence of angiographically severe stenosis and occlusion compared with left internal mammary arteries and saphenous vein grafts

The radial artery has been increasingly used in CABG. However, angiographic outcome data have been limited. We reviewed all coronary angiography procedures from February 1996 to October 2001 and selected patients with a radial artery bypass graft. Angiographic outcomes were divided into groups as (1...

Description
Summary:The radial artery has been increasingly used in CABG. However, angiographic outcome data have been limited. We reviewed all coronary angiography procedures from February 1996 to October 2001 and selected patients with a radial artery bypass graft. Angiographic outcomes were divided into groups as (1) occluded, (2) severe disease (> or =70% stenosis, or string sign), or (3) patent (
