Is it better to use the radial artery as a composite graft?
The RA provides the same clinical and angiographic results both as aorto-coronary and composite Y-graft with the left ITA. When the RA is used as Y-graft the procedure is more technically demanding and a greater number of distal coronary anastomoses is possible. RA grafts to targets with stenosis<or = 70% appear to be at risk of failure.
Long-term depression-like plasticity remains largely intact in mild-to-moderate MS. Increasing brain injury may render the neuronal networks less responsive toward lesion-induction by cTBS.
