The use of radial-artery grafts for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may result in better postoperative outcomes than the use of saphenous-vein grafts. However, randomized, controlled trials ...

New long-term data from the CSP 474 trial offers a challenge to some of the conventional wisdom around graft choice in CABG surgery and may further the debate over recent guideline recommendations.

Patients undergoing heart bypass surgery lived longer and had better outcomes when surgeons used a segment of an artery from their arm, called the radial artery, instead of a vein from their leg, ...

ATLANTA -- Radial artery access for cardiac catheterization appeared similarly safe for the hand whether done proximally or distally, the randomized DIPRA trial showed. Overall change in 30-day hand ...

The brachial artery is the chief artery supplying blood to the arm, forearm, and hand. It supplies the tissues of the upper limb with oxygen and nutrients. Two terminal brachial artery branches, the ...
