Radial artery versus saphenous vein as the second conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery: A meta-analysis

摘要

Objective: Individual studies may be limited by sample size to detect differences in late survival between radial artery (RA) or saphenous vein graft (SVG) as a second conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. Here we undertook a meta-analysis of the best evidence available on the comparison of early and late clinical outcomes of the RA and the SVG.
