Autogenous radial arteries are increasingly used for coronary artery bypass grafting. A modified Allen

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Growing interest in using autogenous radial arteries for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
  • Concerns exist regarding potential vascular compromise and patient selection for radial artery grafts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address concerns about vascular compromise in radial artery harvesting.
  • To introduce a modified Allen's test for improved pre-operative assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a modified Allen's test procedure.
  • Focus on assessing collateral circulation to the hand.

Main Results:

  • The modified Allen's test provides a refined method for evaluating hand perfusion.
  • Aims to improve patient selection for radial artery harvesting.
