Abstract: The radial artery is an important conduit in coronary artery surgical revascularization due to its robust long-term clinical outcomes. The use of the radial artery has become popularized in recent times. Therefore it is essential for junior surgeons to master harvest techniques that are safe, reliable, and easy to replicate.
