Key result
Radial artery grafting in coronary artery bypass surgery requires careful patient and target vessel selection alongside anti-spasm therapy to ensure optimal graft deployment.
Why the study?
What is the optimal management, patient selection, and target vessel selection for radial artery grafts in CABG?
What is the optimal management, patient selection, and target vessel selection for radial artery grafts in CABG?
This review summarizes current literature on optimizing radial artery grafting in CABG, including patient selection, target vessel selection, and anti-spasm therapy.
Warrants careful patient/vessel selection plus anti-spasm therapy for radial grafts in CABG; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.
The current literature on radial artery grafting is reviewed focusing on the optimal deployment of radial artery grafts in coronary artery bypass surgery with specific attention to the selection of patients and target vessels for radial artery grafting.
