Abstract
A modified method of harvesting radial artery conduit for use in coronary bypass surgery is described. Extrafascial harvesting reduces the incidence of conduit spasm during harvest and after grafting. The muscular branches are of adequate size to be ligated with silk without using clips. Whether there is any difference in long-term graft patency rates between extrafascial and intrafascial harvesting needs to be evaluated.
