Revival of the radial artery for coronary artery bypass grafting

Comparação da perviedade entre artéria radial e veia safena em pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica com retorno dos sintomas

“…In the early 90s, after optimistic restudies of RA grafts used in the 70s by Carpentier, in addition to advances in technical dissection and pharmacological handling of vasospasm, there was renewed interest in the RA as graft in CABG [12,13].…”

Revascularização miocárdica com artéria radial: influência da anastomose proximal na oclusão a médio e longo prazo

“…The first studies, even in the 1970s, showed unfavorable results [2,3], which raised interesting in different studies to determine possible factors -perhaps at the histopathological level -that may justify the behavior of early occlusion of RA [4,11,12]. In the early 1990s, numerous technical and pharmacological advances [6.8] raised again the interest in this graft [5,13,14]. With this new approach, there were very satisfactory results, but always in series of patients restudied early or in short-term [5], between 14 and 18 months [6,10,13,15].…”

From this time and since then there has been preference for Y-shaped proximal anastomosis, usually involving the LITA or RITA [7,[15][16][17][18].…”

“…Since the first publications in the 1970s [1], with disappointing short-term results [2][3][4], until its "resurgence" in the 1990s [5], the results indicated by numerous series of patients founded well established concepts about this graft. It is known, for example, about the effect of the degree of obstructive lesion of the target coronary on evolution of its flow [6,7].…”

Modern trends in coronary surgery

“…Интерес к ее приме-нению возобновился в 1989 г., когда было обнаруже-но, что радиальные шунты сохраняют проходимость спустя 13-18 мес. после операции [39]. Появление со-общений о способности антиспастической терапии улучшить проходимость лучевой артерии побудили хи-рургов вернуться к применению этого трансплантата и пересмотреть некоторые технические приемы при этих операциях.…”
