Comparison of electrocautery and LigaSure™ vessel sealing system in radial artery harvesting as coronary artery bypass surgery conduit: A prospective, randomized study
Abstract:In this study, we aimed to compare the efficiency of electrocautery with the LigaSure™ vessel sealing system.
Patients and methods:This randomized study included a total of 53 patients (44 males, 9 females; mean age: 63.7±8.4 years; range, 39 to 83 years) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for radial artery (RA) harvesting with electrocautery or LigaSure™ vessel sealing system between January 2019 and September 2019. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 27… Show more
