Right radial access is the preferred approach in most cases. The optimal access site is 2 cm proximal to the styloid process of the radius bone along the axis with the most powerful pulsation of the ...

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 ...

Major cardiac events were fewer at 5 years in patients receiving a radial artery graft as the second conduit in coronary bypass surgery (CABG) vs a saphenous-vein graft (SVG) in a patient-level ...

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.

Researchers may have just discovered a potential new method to diagnose and monitor atherosclerosis: the radial artery. Atherosclerosis, commonly known as hardening of the arteries, has long been seen ...

Diagnosing coronary heart disease has been accomplished since the 1960s by coronary angiography. During the process, involving guiding a catheter tube through the body to the heart, contrast dye is ...

Atherosclerosis, commonly known as hardening of the arteries, has long been seen as a strong indicator of coronary artery disease, as compared to the traditional risk factors of race, age, gender and ...
