Key result
CABG conduit choice and harvesting techniques significantly influence graft patency and clinical outcomes.
Why the study?
The choice of graft used to bypass stenoses in the coronary circulation is crucial to CABG surgery and its success.
This review summarizes current evidence on CABG conduit selection, emphasizing that arterial grafts (LITA, RA) offer superior patency and clinical outcomes compared to venous grafts, though optimal harvesting and pharmacological strategies remain crucial.
May guide conduit selection in CABG; leaves open optimal harvesting and pharmacologic strategies for prospective trials.
The choice of graft used to bypass stenoses in the coronary circulation is crucial to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and its success. Herein is a review of the existing literature on CABG grafts, including the discussion of utilization of different CABG grafts, patency of different grafts, and technical and other considerations pertinent to the use of each graft. Lastly, we present special considerations for graft selection in women.
