Abstract
The effect of native coronary competitive flow on the patency of arterial and saphenous vein grafts is controversial. We use a simple intraoperative technique to evaluate competitive flow that allows us to make informed intraoperative decisions regarding anastomotic quality, vessel runoff, and competing native coronary blood flow.
