Abstract
Background: Although great concerns have been raised regarding the suitability of the use of the radial artery as a bypass conduit after transradial catheterization, there has been no studies that examined this issue in Korea. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and angiographic results of radial artery grafting between patients with and without previous transradial catheterization. Material and Method: From January 2000 to February 2004, a total of 93 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting using the radial artery: 49 patients received preoperative transradial catheterization for coronary angiography (group I) and 44 patients did not (group II). These patients were retrospectively reviewed. Result: There was no significant difference in sex ratio, age, clinical diagnosis, risk factors, ejection fraction and early clinical outcomes between two groups. The graft patency rates in groups I and II were both 100% in the internal thoracic artery and in the radial artery, and 85% and 86% in the saphenous vein. respectively. The stenosis-free graft patency in groups I and II were 93% and 81% in the radial artery respectively but no statistical significance was shown. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in graft patency at postoperative coronary angiography between two groups. Radial artery graft after transradial catherization seems to be suitable for bypass conduit in short-term analysis.
