Key result
Intra-operative imaging using the SPY system detected defects requiring revision in 1.4% of anastomoses (4 of 290 grafts) during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Does the SPY system effectively evaluate intra-operative graft patency in patients undergoing off-pump CABG?
The SPY system provides real-time, high-quality intra-operative imaging of graft patency during off-pump CABG, allowing for immediate revision of technical failures.
Masao Takahashi (2004) conducted an observational in Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (n=72). SPY intra-operative imaging system was evaluated on Anastomoses revised due to defects detected by SPY images. Intra-operative imaging using the SPY system detected defects requiring revision in 1.4% of anastomoses (4 of 290 grafts) during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
