Key result
Free arterial grafts show equivalent basal flow to saphenous vein grafts during CABG.
Why the study?
Does the flow capacity of free arterial grafts differ from saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery?
Observational (n=20)
Does the flow capacity of free arterial grafts differ from saphenous vein grafts in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery?
Absolute Event Rate: 102.5% vs 102%
Basal flow through free arterial grafts is equivalent to saphenous vein grafts and provides adequate flow reserve for coronary bypass surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Equivalence in basal flow may support free arterial grafts as alternatives in CABG; leaves open effects on long-term patency and outcomes.
Theodore R. Hall (2001) conducted an observational in Coronary bypass surgery (n=20). Free arterial grafts vs. Saphenous vein grafts was evaluated on Graft flow capacity (ml/min). Basal flow through free arterial grafts (102.5+/-28.5 ml/min) was equivalent to saphenous vein grafts (102+/-28 ml/min) during coronary bypass surgery.
