Contemporary Coronary Graft Patency: 5-Year Observational Data From a Randomized Trial of Conduits Philip A.R. Hayward, FRCS, Brian F. Buxton, FRACS The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 84, Issue 3, Pages 795-799 (September 2007) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2007.04.028 Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 1 Five-year patency of three subgroups of conduits. Fisher’s exact test: in situ versus free arterial, p = 0.02; in situ versus saphenous vein graph (SVG), p < 0.0001; and free arterial versus SVG, p = 0.08.

Fig 2 Actuarial graft patency on protocol-directed angiography at 1 month to 10 years. Log-rank test: in situ arterial (red line) versus free arterial (blue line), p = 0.14; in situ versus saphenous vein (green line), p = 0.0005; and free arterial versus saphenous vein, p = 0.07.

Fig 3 Comparative patencies of different in situ and free arterial conduits at 5 years. Fisher’s exact test: left internal thoracic artery (LITA) versus right internal thoracic artery (RITA), p = 0.7; and radial artery (RA) versus free right ITA (FRITA), p = 0.5. (SV = saphenous vein.)

Fig 4 Influence of target runoff on graft patency. Fisher’s exact test: saphenous vein (SV), p = 0.31; and radial artery (RA), p = 0.01. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2007 84, 795-799DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2007.04.028) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
