Background: Radial artery is becoming the commonest artery after femoral artery used for cardiac procedures. The anatomical feasibility, patient comfort along with less chances of atherosclerosis in radial graft make it a preferred artery, but in certain clinical situations as need of second graft, blocked radial artery, difficulty in puncturing radial artery, where we require some other artery...

OBJECTIVE The radial artery is frequently the second graft of choice after the left internal thoracic artery in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. However, the optimal radial artery proximal anastomosis site remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to compare the radial artery patency according to its use as either an aorta-radial artery graft or composite radial artery graft ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hemostasis with patency in avoiding radial artery occlusion after transradial catheterization. BACKGROUND Radial artery occlusion is an infrequent but discouraging complication of transradial access. It is related to factors such as sheath to artery ratio and is less common in patients receiving heparin. Despite being clini...

Brachial artery Bilateral trifurcation Radial recurrent artery The variations in the arterial pattern specially in the extremities are common. The trifurcation of brachial artery into radial, ulnar and either common interosseous or median artery are found commonly, but radial recurrent artery as a third branch is very rarely reported. Here we are reporting a rare case of bilateral trifurcation ...
