Abstract

Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are the most commonly used conduits for coronary artery bypass operations (CABG), despite their sub-optimal long-term patency. External stenting of SVG (eSVS® mesh) was recently proposed to improve their long term patency. Transit time flow measurement (TTFM) is a well described method for intraoperative quality control for CABG.

Highlights

Background/Introduction Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are the most commonly used conduits for coronary artery bypass operations (CABG), despite their sub-optimal long-term patency
Aims/Objectives The aim of this study is to assess whether external stenting of SVG affects perioperative Transit time flow measurement (TTFM)
Twenty six patients who underwent elective CABG were divided into two groups based usage of externally stented
