What were the results of the randomized comparison of radial-artery and saphenous-vein coronary bypass grafts?
The results of the randomized comparison of radial-artery and saphenous-vein coronary bypass grafts, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2004, showed that there is no significant difference between the two grafts in terms of patient outcomes. The study found that both grafts were equally successful in providing good long-term graft patency and survival rates. Additionally, there were no differences in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events between the two grafts.
