The effect of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) lasts as long as the grafts are patent. The internal mammary artery has been considered the "golden" graft due to the superb long-term patency, exceeding 90% at 10 years. The saphenous vein grafts, unfortunately, tend to occlude with a rate of 10-15% within a year after surgery, and eventually, at 10 years after the operation, as much as 60-70% of these vein grafts are either occluded or have angiographic evidence of atherosclerosis. The search for another "arterial conduit", the radial artery, has intensified through the last 15 years in hope to provide a better graft than the saphenous vein for CABG. This article reviews the current knowledge for the radial artery as a conduit in CABG. ...
