Abstract
Although trending to superior patency compared with vein grafts, free arterial conduits have not matched the gold standard achieved by in-situ internal thoracic arteries at trial midpoint. Until the results from RAPCO are available, which will test types of free arterial graft against each other and will compare radial and vein grafts in the longer term, these observational data justify for now our current practice of maximal use of in-situ conduits supplemented by free radial grafts.
