Flow measurement may guide conduit selection in revascularization; extends observational comparisons but leaves open randomized validation.
Does mammary artery graft compared to vein graft improve patency and flow in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization?
Mammary artery grafts offer superior patency compared to vein grafts, especially when potential vein flow is low, highlighting the importance of flow potential in bypass vessel selection.
