Why the study?
The authors aimed to evaluate multiple transit-time flow measurements during coronary artery bypass grafting.
Does a 3-time transit-time flow measurement strategy improve the detection of technical problems during coronary artery bypass grafting?
Does a 3-time transit-time flow measurement strategy improve the detection of technical problems during coronary artery bypass grafting?
A 3-time transit-time flow measurement strategy during CABG allows for intraoperative detection and immediate correction of graft technical problems.

Multiple TTFM timings may flag failing grafts intraoperatively; hypothesis-generating for routine adoption pending prospective trials.
