Graft flow measurement or TTFM (Transit time flow measurement) can offer valuable information on the quality of the graft. It measures both flow and resistance immediately after the bypass is done. This means that the likelihood of a graft failure is significantly reduced. The small epicardial imaging probe can image the anastomoses in real time and provides a visual image of the area demonstrating if the graft is good.
When both are combined, the information can accurately predict graft quality. This means that both surgeons and the patients family are assured that the operation is successful. The technology can significantly reduce post surgery complications such as a heart attack immediately after an operation.
