Intraoperative transit-time flowmetry in patients undergoing coronary surgery to determine relationships between graft flow and patency and prior coronary interventions and flow demand: a retrospective study

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to delineate impacts of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), flow demand, and status of myocardium on graft flow. Methods We retrospectively assessed 736 individual coronary artery bypass grafts that had been created as the sole bypass graft for a v...
