However, harvesting of the radial artery is generally limited to the non-dominant forearm.

During follow-up, no overall difference was found in post-harvest forearm and hand complications. However, the forearm and hand perception score in the bilateral radial artery group was higher: 8.78\u2009\u00b1\u20091.45 vs. 8.35\u2009\u00b1\u20090.84 in the unilateral radial artery group. Subgroup analysis in the bilateral radial artery group revealed no significant difference in forearm and hand perception score between the dominant and non-dominant donor forearms (8.78\u2009\u00b1\u20091.45 in non-dominant and 8.66\u2009\u00b1\u20091.00 in dominant forearms). The bilateral radial artery group had more arterial coronary anastomoses, longer operative times, and longer cardiopulmonary bypass times. However, a backward multiple linear regression model revealed that only two factors related to operative time, these were the number of arterial distal coronary anastomosis and cardiopulmonary bypass time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrated that bilateral radial artery conduits can be used effectively and safely with no difference in persistent complications related to the hands and forearms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0218492320944748","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,17]],"date-time":"2020-07-17T07:42:49Z","timestamp":1594971769000},"page":"470-475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Using bilateral radial arteries in coronary artery bypass grafting is safe"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Karanrat","family":"Ua-anusorn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teerapong","family":"Tocharoenchok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4497-6171","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thaworn","family":"Subtaweesin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(96)00265-3"},{"key":"bibr2-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(98)00668-7"},{"key":"bibr3-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezu111"},{"key":"bibr4-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehy394"},{"key":"bibr5-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2012.05.029"},{"key":"bibr6-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2010.05.038"},{"key":"bibr7-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.111.083048"},{"key":"bibr8-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1716026"},{"key":"bibr9-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(01)02680-7"},{"key":"bibr10-0218492320944748","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2018.01.013"}],"container-title":["Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0218492320944748","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0218492320944748","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0218492320944748","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T17:54:57Z","timestamp":1777398897000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0218492320944748"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0218492320944748"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0218492320944748","relation":{},"ISSN":["0218-4923","1816-5370"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0218-4923","type":"print"},{"value":"1816-5370","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]]}}}
