Routine Use of Unilateral and Bilateral Radial Arteries for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Abstract: Because of potential benefit of long-term patency associated with arterial grafts, minimal morbidity and mortality associated with use of the RA and excellent short-term patency rates, we cautiously recommend use of one or both RAs as additional conduits to be used concomitantly with the ITA for arterial revascularization of the coronary arteries.

“…However, excellent clinical and angiographic results with a follow-up of up to 5 years have recently been reported. [12][13][14] In this study, we documented enhanced endothelium-dependent, ⅐NO-mediated vascular relaxation and greater sensitivity to nitroglycerin in the radial artery compared with the internal mammary artery or saphenous vein. From the known bioactivity of ⅐NO as a vasodilator and antiatherogen, one might expect that these properties of the radial artery protect against vasoconstriction and graft atherosclerosis and thus translate into improved long-term patency of this conduit.…”

“…3,4 The radial artery has recently been rejuvenated as a bypass conduit with encouraging early and intermediate-term results. Some of this success has been attributed to improved harvesting techniques and prolonged administration of antispasmodic agents, [12][13][14] in keeping with the tendency of the radial artery for vasospasm. 15,16 However, ⅐NO-mediated relaxation of the radial artery compared with internal mammary artery and saphenous vein is not yet defined.…”

“…BRODMAN et al (14) realizaram revascularização arterial total em 108 pacientes utilizando ATIE + artéria radial uni ou bilateral e compararam com outros 67 pacientes do mesmo período que receberam revascularização mista (enxertos arteriais + safena). O grupo RAT teve tempo de circulação extracorpórea significativamente reduzido (84,35±27,59 min vs. 109,57 ± 40,38 min), o mesmo acontecendo com o tempo de clampeamento aórtico (52,94 ± 22,79 min vs. 66,32±27,46 min).…”

“…Muitas artérias têm sido propostas como enxertos mas não existe consenso quanto à mais adequada e ao riscobenefício de sua utilização rotineira na CRM. A artéria radial tem sido muito utilizada e tem se destacado pela boa patência, além de fácil obtenção e manipulação (14)(15)(16) . Alguns autores têm defendido sua utilização associada à ATIE e em substituição à safena, realizando, assim, a revascularização somente com enxertos arteriais, técnica conhecida como ''revascularização arterial total'' (14,15,17) .…”
