1 Noninvasive assessment of right gastroepiploic artery graft patency using transcutaneous color Doppler echocardiography  Giuseppe Tavilla, MD, Nico H.J Pijls, MD, PhD, Eric Berreklouw, MD, PhD, Kathinka H Peels, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 67, Issue 3, Pages (March 1999) DOI: /S (98)

2 Fig 1 Postoperative transcutaneous Doppler echocardiographic imaging of the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) graft showing a biphasic velocity pattern, with the highest velocity in systole and a second, lower peak in diastole. Notice the typical collar of abnormal echo-intensive perivascular tissue around the artery (small arrows). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

3 Fig 2 Selective angiography of the right gastroepiploic (GEA) artery showing a patent graft that could not be detected using transcutaneous Doppler echocardiography. (RDP = right posterior descending artery.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

4 Fig 3 A “slender sign” of a right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) graft, as demonstrated by selective angiography. This graft could not be detected using transcutaneous Doppler echocardiography. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )
