Dear Bhvuensh Shah
as long as i did work with CABG patients in my career i have seen 2 patients with anomalies post radial artery harvesting , one was a complication... septicemia related and teh other one was related to sensory loss at the area of harvest and a motor: praxic picture that was treated like any other neuropraxia after the harvest site healed up.. the reason that was sited was an intra op handling of the nerve.
i other wise have never come across any other anomalie post radial harvesting during this career of mine.
Id also like to add to your paragraph on the lima-rima grafts that; they also do use many other arterial harvests like the gastro-epiploic artery and teh greater omental artery also the splenic arteries are used ... toname a few... im sure teh surgeons must be using many more for an option if the radial atrey is not availible due to some technical reason.
hope you do find some more on this toipc... do keep us a well updated.
