Popis: Perioperative spasm of RA is a common experience in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and it can lead to severe perioperative morbidity and even death in high-risk patients.3 The vasospasm was thought to be a consequence of the trauma during the harvesting procedure and thermal injury due to electrocautery.4 In order to decrease potential complications, we decided to utilize a less-invasive and less traumatic carbon dioxide gas insufflation technique for radial artery harvesting.
