The radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting : review of current knowledge

  • The effect of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) lasts as long as the grafts are patent. The internal mammary artery has been considered the "golden" graft due to the superb long-term patency, exceeding 90% at 10 years. The saphenous vein grafts, unfortunately, tend to occlude with a rate of 10-15% within a year after surgery, and eventually, at 10 years after the operation, as much as 60-70% of these vein grafts are either occluded or have angiographic evidence of atherosclerosis. The search for another "arterial conduit", the radial artery, has intensified through the last 15 years in hope to provide a better graft than the saphenous vein for CABG. This article reviews the current knowledge for the radial artery as a conduit in CABG. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2006; 6: 153-62)
  • Koroner arter baypas greft cerrahisinin (CABG) etkisi greftler patent olduğu sürece devam eder. Internal mammariyan arter 10 yılda %90'lık olağanüstü kabul edilen uzun dönem açıklık oranı ile "altın" greft olarak nitelendirilmifltir. Safen ven grefti ne yazık ki cerrahiden bir yıl sonra % 10-15 oranında oklüde olmaktadır ve nihayet 10 yıl sonra da ven greftlerinin % 60-70'i ya oklüde olurlar ya da anjiyografik olarak aterosklerotiktirler. Son 15 yılda CABG için safen venden daha iyi bir greft sağlamak amacıyla baflka bir "arteryel konduit", yani radiyal arter için arayıfllar yoğunlaflmıfltır. Bu makale radiyal arterin CABG'de kullanımı için mevcut bilgileri gözden geçirmektedir. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2006; 6: 153-62)
