Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase Radial Artery Usage as a Second Arterial Conduit in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Use of radial artery as a second arterial graft, compared to a saphenous vein, in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can improve late outcomes. However, the radial artery remains underutilized. We initiated a quality improvement (QI) initiative to increase the usage of radial artery grafts.
