Abstract
Anatomical characteristics of the radial a. were compared to those of the internal thoracic a., considered as a gold standard in coronary surgery. The length, the diameter, the collateral distribution and the wall thickness of these two arteries were studied comparatively. In addition, a comparative histological analysis was carried out. Anatomical and histological characteristics of these two arteries have important implications for coronary artery bypass.Mesh:
