Coronary flow in a prosthetic aorto-coronary bypass graft: first report of Possis Perma-Flow graft physiology in a patient.
The coronary physiology of a prosthetic Perma-Flow coronary bypass graft conduit is demonstrated in the first patient at 1-yr follow-up. Coronary blood flow velocity was measured in the body of the graft and into the side-to-side anastomosis to the first diagonal branch. This case report demonstrates the first information on the coronary and prosthetic graft flow in a patient with atherosclerotic coronary disease.
