Purported advantages have included efficient use of available conduits, potentially improved graft patency rates attributable to presumed higher flow rates, and the need for fewer proximal anastomoses for sequential aortocoronary grafts. Intraoperative transit time graft flow measurement and calculation of the pulsatility index have likewise been available for many years and have been adopted by some surgeons as a quality control measure.
