Why the study?
There is still debate on which conduit to use after the left internal thoracic artery in CABG, as other arterial grafts remain underused despite evidence suggesting potential benefits.
What is the evidence for using different types of arterial conduits compared to saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing CABG?
What is the evidence for using different types of arterial conduits compared to saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing CABG?
This review highlights the current evidence and strategies for using various arterial conduits in CABG, suggesting potential underutilization of arterial grafts such as the radial artery.
