“…1,9,11,17 On the other hand, just a very few articles describe clinical evidence of chronic ischemia of the hand after a radial forearm flap or just the radial artery was harvested, whereas some hundreds of these flaps, as well as radial arteries, may be used for myocardial revascularization every year around the world. [18][19][20] The conclusion is that in most cases when a superficial ulnar artery is present and replaces the regular ulnar artery, it is not noticed and, above all, not damaged during radial flap preparation. Nevertheless, there is always the risk of damaging a superficial ulnar artery if it is present.…”

“…Our institutional experience with the use of the RA as coronary artery bypass conduit started in 1993; detailed description of the operative technique used at surgery, perioperative management, follow-up methodology and midto long-term clinical and angiographic results have been previously published [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…All these patients had already undergone a similar study protocol 5 years after surgery; detailed results of this study have been published [5]. Main clinical data of these cases are resumed in Table 1.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] In this report, we describes the long-term angiographic results of the first 90 consecutive, surviving patients in whom the RA was used as a coronary artery bypass conduit directly anastomosed to the ascending aorta. Cases in whom the RA was used as a composite conduit proximally anastomosed to a mammary graft were not included in this analysis.…”
