Intraoperative MediStim transit time flow measurement (TTFM) is highly useful during CABG, as a Pulsatility Index greater than 5 generally indicates a correctable graft problem in off-pump cases.

Intraoperative transit time flow measurement is highlighted as a useful tool in CABG to identify and correct graft problems when the Pulsatility Index exceeds 5.
F. Benetti (2008) conducted a letter in Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). MediStim transit time flow measurement (TTFM) was evaluated. Intraoperative MediStim transit time flow measurement (TTFM) is highly useful during CABG, as a Pulsatility Index greater than 5 generally indicates a correctable graft problem in off-pump cases.
