Radial ArteryAdvantages

• Relative large size• Few wound complications• Easy to work with• Prepare simultaneously with ITA• Long

Radial Artery Disadvantages

• Sclerosis in diabetics• Damage by radial arterial lines• Ulnar flow may be insufficient• ? Patency

- Coronary Artery

- Competitive Flow

Summary

• Target Vessel and Target vessel stenosis (competitive flow) important predictors of radial artery patency

• Best when used to graft severely stenotic left sided coronary arteries

• Worst when used to graft moderately stenosed right sided coronary arteries
