A member asked:
Chronic thrombosis of radial artery. vascular surgeon says bypass could kill me. do i have any other options. only on bayer aspirin.

Unclear: The radial artery in its natural position is well collateralized and minimal symptoms. Rarely would it need to be bypassed. If was used as coronary graft and occluded, then reoperation can have risks in relation to the total health picture-.

Second opinion: It's unlikely that a radial artery bypass would kill you, as most perioperative mortality in vascular surgery is a result of cardiac events and this can be minimized in this setting with regional anesthesia. I would get a second opinion from a board certified vascular surgeon. Check with the society for vascular surgery at www.Vascularweb.Org.
