Functional assessment of improvement of myocardial ischemia using coronary flow velocity reserve after coronary artery bypass surgery in hemodialysis

ConclusionIn both groups, CFVR values improved after successful CABG, but postoperative CFVR values were significant different. In younger populations CFVR values are generally higher. Our HD group was significantly younger than the non ‐HD group, but CFVR values were postoperatively significantly lower. CFVR values are reportedly affected by both epicardial and microcoronary circulation. In this study population, as all grafts to the LAD were patent, the lower CFVR value in the HD group was considered to have resulted in microva scular disorders.
