Abstract
The coronary physiology of a prosthetic Perma-Flow(R) coronary bypass graft conduit is demonstrated in the first patient at I-yr follow-up. Coronary blood flow velocity was measured in the body of the graft and into the side-to-side anastomosis to the first diagonal branch. This case report demonstrates the first information on the coronary and pro sthetic graft flow in a patient with atherosclerotic coronary disease. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
