CABG Graft Flow Patency Assessment with Flow-QC® Handbook 
Transonic Systems, the pioneer of transit-time ultrasound flowmetry, has produced and published an 80-page handbook, "Flow-based Intraoperative Graft Patency Assessment" in collaboration with B. Mindich, MD, chief of cardiac surgery, The Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, NJ.
Includes:Table of Contents / Chapter I: Why Measure Graft FlowThe unabridged table of contents for handbook and an introduction stating the imperative for measuring coronary graft flow intraoperatively Chapter II: Physiology of Graft Flow Coronary graft flow as a function of cardiovascular status, myocardial pathology, surgical procedures and graft patency. Chapter III: Flow-based Graft Patency Assessment The procedure and detailed protocol for measuring coronary graft flow. Chapter IV: On/Off Pump Graft Patency Assessment On/Off Pump Graft Assessment Protocol with flow comparisons Chapter V: Off-Pump Graft Patency Assessment Representative examples and analysis of flow waveforms including flow profiles of native conduits followed by examples of graft waveforms to the left and right ventricles respectively. Chapter VI: Case Studies Illustrative case studies of representative situations encountered during flow-based intraoperative graft flow assessment. Chapter VII: Frequently Asked Questions Questions often asked by perspective endusers. Appendix Pertinent information including a comparison of measurement modalities, an abstract 'Reduction of Technical Graft Problems Utilizing Ultrasonic Flow Measurements," publications, and an inventory of flow waveforms used in the handbook.
