Functional Recovery of a Failed Radial Artery Graft After Progression of Native Coronary Stenosis

Abstract Competitive flow from the native vessel can lead to coronary graft failure. However, restoration of graft patency can occasionally occur. We present the case of subtotal occlusion of a radial artery graft bypassing a lesion with moderate stenosis, with subsequent late functional recovery once the native vessel disease had progressed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
