Total Arterial Revascularization with Radial Artery and Internal Thoracic Artery T-Grafts Is Associated with Superior Long-Term Survival in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

摘要

Aims: Compelling evidence encourages the use of the radial artery (RA) as the second arterial graft in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, its long-term benefits remain disputed. We sought to evaluate long-term outcome and survival by comparing patients receiving RAs with those receiving venous grafts to a single internal thoracic artery (ITA).
