Transit time flow measurement in coronary artery bypass grafting: For every patient and every surgeon Quality assurance in cardiac surgery has evolved over the past decade to include intraoperative performance measures, pre- dicated on the fact that intraoperative evaluation of quality leads to improved patient outcomes. Routine intraoperative quality control mea- sures have been implemented in most aspects of cardiac surgery, in- cluding treatment of structural valve disease, and congenital and pediatric cardiac surgery. However, this is not the case in coronary surgery, In the United States, 18.2 million adults age 20 and older have coronary artery disease.2 With close to 200,000 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries performed in the U.S per year,2 this is the most frequently performed cardiac surgical procedure. The STS Adult Cardiac Surgery performance measure assesses surgical performance based on a combination of CABG process and outcomes measures, including risk-adjusted opera- tive mortality and morbidity, use of an internal mammary artery, and secondary prevention measures at discharge. And yet, the ultimately relevant outcomes for the patient-survival and symptom relief-are based on a single primary underlying premise-that the patient leaves the operating room with functioning grafts. So why is there no routine intraoperative graft quality control measure in place in coronary surgery? Several modalities for intraoperative quality assessment of CABGs exist, among them coronary angiography and intraoperative fluorescence imaging. However, these are limited mainly by cost and/or practical ap- plicability. Intraoperative transit time flow measurement (TTFM) is the technology most frequently adopted, yet it is used in only 20% of CABG procedures in the United States." The most frequently cited limitations to widespread adoption are: (i) a lack of standardization of how TTFM should be performed; (11) a lack of standardization of how TTFM measurements should be |
