Noninvasive Quantification of Blood Flow in Epicardial Coronary Arteries, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts, and Anastomoses

Conclusions: Rheologic flow interaction between conduit and native coronary at the anastomosis remains the most poorly understood technical aspect of CABG. A noninvasive, noncontact, no-risk imaging technology as simple as a snapshot can provide this critical physiologic information, validate and document intraoperative quality, and improve even further CABG outcomes.
