Should we ligate coronary conduits when flow measurements indicate competitive flow? a case report
There should be a great degree of suspicion for CF with high BF values, even when the rest of the parameters measured during TTFM are normal or marginal. Also, the location of the LAD stenosis proximal to the D1 is a risk factor for CF when both arteries are grafted. Changing the revascularization plan based on TTFM is warranted for optimal outcomes.
