Revascularization using satellite vein after radial artery harvested for coronary artery bypass grafting

Shigeyoshi Gon et al. Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2006 Jun.

Abstract

The radial artery has been increasingly used for coronary artery bypass grafting and has excellent long-term patency rates. Hand claudication is one of the adverse effects after radial artery harvest. We reconstructed a radial artery using the satellite vein to prevent hand claudication. Pulsating blood flow at 35 cm/sec was evaluated using color Doppler echocardiography three months after surgery. This method makes it possible to use a radial artery in patients with a positive Allen test.
