Radial-Artery or Saphenous-Vein Grafts in Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery
Structured PICO
Does the use of radial-artery grafts reduce adverse cardiac events and improve patency compared to saphenous-vein grafts in patients undergoing Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery?
P
Population
Patients undergoing Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
I
Intervention
Radial-artery grafts
C
Comparator
Saphenous-vein grafts
O
Outcome
Rate of adverse cardiac events and rate of patency at 5 years of follow-upcomposite
Radial-artery grafts provide superior long-term clinical outcomes and patency at 5 years compared to saphenous-vein grafts in patients undergoing CABG.
Abstract
As compared with the use of saphenous-vein grafts, the use of radial-artery grafts for CABG resulted in a lower rate of adverse cardiac events and a higher rate of patency at 5 years of follow-up. (Funded by Weill Cornell Medicine and others.).
