pubmed:abstractText |
The radial artery is widely used as a graft in coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Due to its location and function it should be screened prior to harvesting to avoid ischaemic complications of the hand. In acute situations the Allen test is often the only preoperative screening method available. As has been noted earlier, a negative Allen test does not mean a non-harvestable radial artery. We endeavoured to find out whether intraoperative pressure measurement could be used as a complement while screening the radial artery.
