Radial-Artery or Saphenous-Vein Grafts in Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery

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.).
