Conduits for Coronary Bypass: Arteries Other Than the Internal Thoracic Artery's

Abstract: This is the third in a series on coronary artery bypass which reviews three alternative arterial conduits. The radial artery has become the most widely used of the three and accumulating experience demonstrates better patency at 10 years versus saphenous vein. Drawbacks are a long incision on the forearm, the propensity for spasm and persistent sensory disturbance in about 10%. The first is answered by endoscopic harvest which may yield a shorter conduit but reduces sensory nerve injury. Spasm is managed pharm… Show more

“…However, it should be mentioned that we used a low flow system. High flow systems, possibly pulsatile, might have been more effective particularly when thinking that CABG surgery require SV of at least 12 to 15 cm 25 , 26 that might be better decellularised by using high flow systems.…”

“…9 Harvesting arterial grafts, however, is much more time consuming; the preparational techniques are more difficult, and arterial grafts can only be applied for specific coronaries. 10 The no-touch vein harvesting technique has dramatically changed the long-term patency results for venous grafts. Veins harvested using this technique demonstrate nearly comparable long-term patency results as arteries.…”
