Intraoperative transit time flow measurement findings. (A) Competitive flow was suggested when the right gastroepiploic artery was grafted to the posterior descending artery as an in-situ graft. Before revision, pulsatility index (PI) value = 6.7, mean flow = 8 mL/min. (B) The right gastroepiploic artery was divided at its proximal section and anastomosed onto the ascending aorta as a free graft, and the flowmeter demonstrated an improved flow pattern. After revision, pulsatility index value = 1.5, mean flow = 20 mL/min.
