Coronary Flowprobes take the guesswork
out of knowing bypass flow
Transonic® Cardiovascular Flowprobes
work with the Transonic® Optima
Flowmeter to measure volume flow
in vessels or grafts from 1.3 - 36
mm diameter. The non-constrictive
perivascular Flowprobes use transittime ultrasound technology to measure
volume blood flow directly, quickly and
easily, even in the low-flow range.
The surgeon now has a quantitative
tool with which to objectively assess
the quality of the anastomosis. Unseen
blood flow obstructions can be detected
intraoperatively and repaired before
closing the patient. This ability to correct
otherwise undetectable flow restrictions
gives the surgeon with a unique
opportunity to improve patient outcomes.
European Revascularization Guidelines
“Graft flow measurement, related to
graft type, vessel size, degree of stenosis,
quality of anastomosis, and outflow
area, is useful at the end of surgery.
Flow <20 mL/min and pulsatility index
>5 predict technically inadequate grafts,
mandating graft revision before leaving
the operating theatre.”1

information in a timely, accurate, cost-effective manner allowing
for the surgical correction of a surgical problem. This has
signficantly reduced the complication related to early technically
induced graft failure.” Mindich B, MD
TRANSIT-TIME ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY
MEASURES VOLUME FLOW, NOT VELOCITY
Two transducers pass ultrasonic signals, alternately intersecting
the vessel in upstream and downstream directions. The difference
between the two transit times yields a measure of volume flow.

CABG Surgery
CABG Medical Protocol
Intraoperative Graft Patency
Assessment during CABG Surgery
Measuring Graft Flow
Diastolic-Dominant Pattern cont.
Accurate measurements are technique dependent.
• Select a Flowprobe sized so that the graft will fill at least 75%
of the lumen of the Probe without compressing the graft.
• Fill Probe window with ultrasound gel.
• Position Probe on graft (not over metal clips or fascia).
• Occlude native coronary artery and measure graft flow to
establish maximum flow for the graft.
• When flow reading is stable (10-15 seconds), press PRINT,
take snapshot or record on AureFlo®.
Does Mean Flow Confirm Graft Patency?
•
•
Acceptable Mean Flow > 30 mL/min
Medium Range Mean Flows (5 - 30mL/min)
Does flow exhibit the expected pattern?
Evaluate other factors that may lower flow such as
vasospasm of arterial grafts; small target vessel or small
patient; small graft capacity, poor runoff, or low mean arterial
pressure.
Is Pulsatility Index (PI) between 1 & 5?
A PI greater than 5 is generally associated with low mean flow
and systolic-dominant flow pattern indicating that the graft
should be reexamined.
Examine Graft
• With Probe on the graft, turn on FlowSound® and listen for
pitch increases as adjustments are made to the graft (1 octave
pitch ‘K‘ = 4 ‘xK‘ in flow).
• Look for kinks/twists in the graft, low MAP, dampened
waveform
• Redo anastomosis if technical error is indicated.
Fig. 1: LIMA-LAD: mean = 147 mL/min; diastolic dominant; PI =2.
Balanced Systolic/Diastolic Pattern
In grafts to the right ventricle, flow is more equally distributed
between the systolic and diastolic phases. This produces a flow
waveform where the systolic peak may dominate but is followed by
a proportionally strong diastolic flow producing a systolic/diastolic
balanced waveform (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2: RIMA - RCA: mean is 19 mL/min. systolic/diastolic balanced; PI=2
Questionable Flows
For questionable mean graft flows (5 - 30 mL/min), the graft is
evaluated through systolic/diastolic waveform properties, using
FlowSound®, a printout or snapshot to examine the graft. A
rule of thumb is that systole lasts one-third of a heart beat and
diastole lasts two-thirds.
Stenotic Pattern
In stenotic grafts, the systolic peak dominates the flow profile and
is associated with low or zero-mean flow. Often, systolic charge
flow flows backwards as a negative flow during diastole (Fig. 3).
Flow Waveform Analysis
Diastolic-Dominant Pattern
For grafts to the left ventricle, the shorter waveform peak is
usually systolic, and the higher, broader peak is diastolic (Fig. 1)
except in the presence of severe tachycardia where diastole is
shortened. An acceptable left ventricular waveform is “diastolic
dominant” where the delivered diastolic blood volume (i.e., area
under diastolic curve) exceeds delivered systolic blood volume.

Fig. 3: The RIMA - RCA graft exemplifies a graft with a stenotic flow profile. The flow waveform dips below zero and indicates the presence of competitive flow.

The objective of vascular procedures is to re-establish
adequate blood flow. But without definitive
measurements, one doesn’t really know exact flow.
Why rely on guesswork and intuition, and wait until
postoperative conditions determine surgical success?
Measure flow intraoperatively and generate flow
waveforms for the operative record. Elevate your
professional reputation with referring physicians, and
protect your practice.
Make intraoperative flow measurement with the
AureFlo® System part of your routine. Verify adequate
blood flow before closing your patient.
“Not a day goes by that these flow measurements don’t solve a problem for me.”
B. Mindich, MD
“...at the Medical Center here, we use the flowprobe as part of our routine monitoring the post-bypass
patient. It gives us intraoperatively information about what’s transpiring with each individual graft. It’s not
information that you could get any other way.”
E. Grossi, MD
“Transonic Flow-QC provides a measurable improvement in the quality of care you can extend to your
patients. You can: improve patient outcomes; reduce or delay the need for future interventions and
document surgical results.”
