  Aims: Use of radial artery in coronary artery bypass grafting has been supported by the results of several histopathology and angiographic studies that have shown excellent short, medium and long term results. However the effect of coronary risk factors on its results may be of concern. This study was undertaken to correlate the association of major clinical risk factors with intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis in radial artery using preoperative doppler studies, intraoperative morphometry and postoperative histopathology (HP) and morphometry. Methods and results: This was a prospective study involving 100 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in whom radial artery was used as a conduit. The radial artery was assessed using preoperative doppler ultrasound studies, intraoperative morphometry and postoperative histopa.. View More»
