Overview

TTFM was associated with lower mortality and MI in this cohort; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does intraoperative transit time flow measurement improve surgical outcomes in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting?

P
Population
200 patients undergoing on-pump isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via median sternotomy performed by the same surgical team.
I
Intervention
Intraoperative transit time flow measurement (TTFM) for assessment of graft patency during operation.
C
Comparator
No TTFM (historical control group of 100 consecutive patients before TTFM became available).
O
Outcome
Overall mortality, peri- or postoperative myocardial infarction, and intraaortic balloon pump insertion.hard clinical

The use of intraoperative transit time flow measurement during on-pump CABG allows for immediate graft revision and significantly improves surgical outcomes including mortality and perioperative MI.
