Radial artery (RA) is the most popular arterial graft after the left internal thoracic artery in both low- and high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Various arterial grafts such as the right internal thoracic artery, the right gastroepiploic artery, and the inferior epigastric artery have also gained ground over the past 30 years because of the intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis of the saphenous vein leading to late graft occlusion. In this review article we would like to present the utility of the RA as a graft, focused mainly on its structural and biological characteristics.
桡动脉（RA）是冠状动脉旁路移植术（CABG）中低危和高危患者继左内乳动脉之后最常用的动脉移植物。在过去30年里，由于大隐静脉内膜增生和动脉粥样硬化导致移植物晚期闭塞，其他各种动脉移植物，如右内乳动脉、右胃网膜动脉和腹壁下动脉，也得到了广泛应用。在这篇综述文章中，我们将介绍桡动脉作为移植物的用途，主要关注其结构和生物学特性。
