Abstract
Objectives: In coronary arteries micro-angiopathy has shown to be responsible for changes in basal membranous structures of diabetic patients. This inferior run-off may adversely affect flow patterns in bypass grafts following CABG-surgery and could be responsible for inferior results in this subset of patients. Flow in bypass vessels is a crucial predictor of patency and early graft failure. Transit time flow measurement is a technology that allows a quick and uninvasive assessment of graft flow. Our aim was to analyze the impact of Diabetes mellitus on graft-flow patterns in CABG-surgery.
