Selection of conduits in coronary artery surgery
Coronary artery bypass surgery remains the “gold standard” for patients with multivascular coronary artery disease. The success of this procedure is determined by several aspects, including the choice of a conduit and the method of its harvesting. Current world literature provides conflicting information in favor of one or another graft, often giving preference to complete arterial revascularization using internal thoracic or radial arteries. This review provides an analysis of conduit patency and current trends in graft selection for coronary artery bypass grafting.
