100 * the second best arterial graft to the left coronary system in off-pump bypass surgery: a propensity analysis of the radial artery with a proximal anastomosis to the ascending aorta versus the right internal thoracic artery
Conclusion: RA anastomosed to the aorta appears to have good long-term outcomes, similar to RITA as the second arterial graft. Furthermore, the choice of RA avoids sternal complications and shortens the operation time compared to the use of BITA.
