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) )

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) )

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) )
