Abstract:

Incidence of intraoperative graft obstruction in coronary artery bypass surgery is up to 4%. Graft patency is the main factor affecting mortality after CABG. Simultaneous flowmetry and epicardial ultrasound ensure morphological and functional data for significant improvement of intraoperative assessment of graft patency and quality of anastomosis. In this review, the authors describe the methodology of intraoperative transit-time flow measurement and high-frequency ultrasound for estimation of graft patency in coronary artery bypass surgery.
