Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery After Transradial Catheterization: Implementing 2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI Revascularization Guidelines Into Clinical Practice.
Overview
abstract
The 2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI coronary artery disease revascularization guideline recommends radial artery (RA) access for coronary angiography and RA grafting over saphenous vein grafting in patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting. We present a case of a patient who underwent coronary angiography via both RAs and therefore could not receive RA bypass grafts. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
