[MSB-62] Comparison of Left Internal Mammary Artery to the Left Anterior Descending Artery Graft Patency
A significant positive correlation was revealed between the bidirectional palpation test and the mean flow measured by TTFM. Additionally, both the bidirectional palpation test and TTFM accurately demonstrated the intraoperative LIMA graft patency. These findings indicate that both tests can be reliably used in the assessment of the LIMA to left anterior descending artery anastomosis.
