Key result
Radial artery grafts demonstrated lower rates of angiographically defined graft occlusion at 1-year follow-up compared with saphenous vein grafts.

This editorial highlights evidence from the RAPS trial demonstrating that radial artery grafts offer superior 1-year angiographic patency compared to saphenous vein grafts in CABG patients.
Timothy J. Gardner (2007) conducted an editorial in Coronary artery disease requiring bypass grafting. Radial artery graft vs. Saphenous vein graft was evaluated on Angiographically defined graft occlusion. Radial artery grafts demonstrated lower rates of angiographically defined graft occlusion at 1-year follow-up compared with saphenous vein grafts.
