Graft failure occurs in a sizeable proportion of coronary artery bypass conduits. We herein
review relevant current evidence to give an overview of the incidence, pathophysiology, and …

Transit time flow measurement (TTFM) allows quality control in coronary artery bypass
grafting but remains largely underused, probably because of limited information and the lack …

The Japanese Circulation Society (JCS) published the “Guidelines for elective percutaneous
coronary intervention [PCI] in patients with stable coronary disease” in 2000. In 2006 …

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate transit-time flow (TTF) as a tool to detect
technical errors in arterial bypass grafts intra-operatively and predict outcomes. Methods …

Despite there being numerous studies of intraoperative graft flow assessment by transit-time
flow measurement (TTFM) on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the …

OBJECTIVES Transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) allows intraoperative functional
assessment of grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The major limitation of this …

Objective: Transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is the most widely used method for intra-
operative graft quality control in coronary artery bypass surgery. Although it may provide the …

BACKGROUND: Transit time flow measurement has been accepted as a valuable tool to
predict early coronary artery bypass graft failure immediately after surgery. However, if the …

BACKGROUND: A primary limitation of using transit time flow measurement to predict early
graft failure in coronary artery bypass grafting has been the lack of cutoff values for objective …

OBJECTIVES Little is known regarding the transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) variables
in grafts anastomosed to chronically totally occluded vessels (CTOs). We aimed to establish …
