Sequential Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts: Flow-based Patency Assessment Criteria
We read with interest Kim et al ’s paper1, which addresses whether threshold values for transit time flow measurement (TTFM) metrics in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patency assessment need adjustment when sequential grafts are used, and whether these metrics have predictive value for long-term graft failure and major adve rse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Such studies are relevant, not only to the research community and to CABG surgeons, but also to medical device manufacturers such as Transonic, seeking to improve and optimize the intraoperative decision-supporting value of their TTFM devices.

Does Sustained Reduction of Functional Mitral Regurgitation Impact Survival?
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with increased mortality and has been considered a marker for advanced heart disease.1 In heart failure, the combination of myocardial thinning and dilation, widening of the interpapillary distance, and leaflet tethering combine to result in loss of the zone of coaptation and central mitral regurgitation. In ischemic mitral regurgitation, the infarcted tissue forms a scar and leads to asymmetric wall thinning, papillary muscle contraction, and leaflet tethering, which alters the zone of coaptation and results in eccentric mitral regurgitation (Fig. (Source: Seminars in Th...
