Long-term clinical outcome and graft patency of radial artery and saphenous vein grafts in multiple arterial revascularization

ObjectiveThe long-term benefits of multiple arterial revascularization (MAR) in coronary artery bypass grafting remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome, graft patency, and need for subsequent target revascularization of radial artery (RA) versus saphenous vein graft in patients undergoing MAR in both patient- and graft-specific analyses.MethodsBetween 2001 and 2016, we followed 1654 patients over a median...
