Prospective assessment of intraoperative renal perfusion with transit time flow measurements (TTFM) in deceased and living donor kidney transplantation
Optimal graft perfusion is key to achieving satisfactory post-transplant function. The possibility of evaluating vascular flows can lead to the early identification of vascular complications and reflect graft quality and outcome. From 1, 2022 to 1, 2024, transit time flow measurements (TTFM) were prospectively recorded in 75 consecutive kidney transplants (KTx) and analyzed alongside donor, recipient, transplant, and outcome data.

Optimisation of Off-Pump CABG Using Graft Flowmeter, Intra-Operative Tee and Cardiac Markers
Background: Aim: The aim of the present study was to optimize the off pump coronary artery bypass grafting by the use of graft flow meter based on transit time flow principle and revision of grafts when the values are abnormal and there is associated haemodynamic instability as seen on TEE, ECG changes and rise in Trop I levels. Methods: 75 patients undergoing isolated off-pump CABG at LPS Institute of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery were included in the study from January 2017 to June 2018. See more...
Long-Term Results of Femorodistal Sequential Composite-Bypass Combining Heparin-Bonded PTFE-Prosthesis and Autologous Vein Using the Deutsch Bridge Technique in Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia
Autologous vein bypass provides excellent long-term results in critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), but a substantial portion of patients have insufficient vein length. In limbs with two distal outflow vessels and limited vein length, a vascular prosthesis may be combined with autologous vein for a sequential composite bridge bypass (SCBB). Read more...
Preoperative Quantitative Flow Ratio, Intraoperative Transit Time Flow Measurement Parameters, and Their Predictive Value for Short-Term Graft Failure After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Studies on the relationship between the preoperative quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and parameters of intraoperative transit time flow measurement (TTFM) are extremely rare. In addition, the predictive value of QFR and TTFM parameters for early internal mammary artery (IMA) failure after coronary artery bypass grafting still needs to be validated.. Read More.
