Key result
Transit time flow measurement is a useful predictor of coronary graft patency when mean flow values are interpreted simultaneously with flow curves and pulsatile index values.
Why the study?
Does intraoperative transit time flow measurement (TTFM) accurately predict graft patency in CABG patients?

Intraoperative transit time flow measurement is a useful tool for assessing graft patency during CABG only when mean flow values are interpreted alongside flow curves and pulsatile index.
Gabriele D’Ancona (2001) conducted a letter in Coronary artery bypass grafting (graft patency) (n=1,200). Transit time flow measurement (TTFM) was evaluated on Graft patency. Transit time flow measurement is a useful predictor of coronary graft patency when mean flow values are interpreted simultaneously with flow curves and pulsatile index values.
