May guide radial artery conduit selection in CABG; leaves open long-term patency questions for prospective trials.
What is the current evidence regarding the clinical results and patency rates of the radial artery as a conduit in CABG surgery?
This review highlights the need for careful consideration of radial artery conduits in CABG, balancing excellent early results with emerging concerns over long-term patency.
Nezic et al. (2006) conducted a review in Advanced coronary artery disease. Radial artery conduit was evaluated. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the use of the radial artery as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, focusing on clinical results and patency rates.
