Comparison of Patency Between Sequential and Individual Radial Artery Anastomoses in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current evidence suggests that multiple arterial grafting improves long-term survival following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Sequential radial artery (RA) grafting is known to be a safe approach for maximizing arterial revascularization. This study aimed to compare RA conduit patency between sequential and individual grafting.

Methods

A total of 274 CABG patients who received at least one RA graft between January 2017 and June 2021 were included in our retrospective study. The occlusion of RA anastomoses was assessed by postoperative computed tomography angiography or coronary angiography at follow-up. Group comparisons for long-term outcomes were conducted using adjusted Cox regression models.

Results

The median image follow-up time was 1.8 year
