| pubmed-article:11306317 | pubmed:abstractText | There is an increasing use of arterial conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting, and the radial artery is commonly used as the third graft. The major drawback of the radial artery is its proclivity to spasm. Both papaverine and phenoxybenzamine have been recommended as topical vasodilators in clinical practice. We compared the efficacy of both drugs to prevent radial artery spasm and their ability to preserve endothelial function. | lld:pubmed |
