Intraoperative transit time flow measurements during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: The impact of coronary stenosis on competitive flow

Frank R. Halfwerk et al.

Summary: Routine snaring of the LAD with CFI calculation during coronary artery bypass grafting is useful to detect significant competitive flow in LIMA grafts, potentially preventing unnecessary intraoperative graft revisions. This study suggests that the severity of LAD stenosis can impact graft flow in LIMA grafts, and intraoperative flow assessment can help improve outcomes.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Transit Time Flow Measurement: Graft Patency and Clinical Outcomes

Jacquelyn A. Quin et al.

Summary: This subanalysis of ROOBY trial explored the impact of transit time flow measurement (TTFM) on graft patency and long-term clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The study found that TTFM group had significantly better graft patency at one year compared to non-TTFM group, but there was no significant difference in major adverse cardiac event rates between the two groups over five years.

A new way to use transit-time flow measurement for coronary artery bypass grafting

Lukas Stastny et al.

Summary: The study found that graft flow was related to the dimensions of the target vessel and the degree of stenosis. Flow measurements with the heart arrested can provide additional information about bypass grafts, anastomosis quality, and coronary circulation physiology.

The Hemodynamic Mechanism of FFR-Guided Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Bao Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the importance of FFR values in guiding coronary artery bypass surgery, especially when bypassing lesions with high FFR values to avoid potential complications such as graft failure.
