Abstract

During the coronary artery bypass off pump procedure thermal angiography was evaluated for the intraoperative assessment of the patency and the flow in the left internal mammary to the left anterior descendens. Our observation confirms that thermal angiography may be used as an intraoperative method which improves graft quality control during coronary bypass procedures.
