Feasibility case series shows portable thermal imaging evaluates graft patency in CABG, suggesting practical use in surgery.
Portable thermal imaging is a feasible, safe, and inexpensive method for real-time intraoperative evaluation of cardioplegia distribution and graft patency in CABG. It may represent a valuable adjunct in resource-limited environments. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
