Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure to restore blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we are proud to offer advanced technology such as flowmetry for CABG, enhancing this critical procedure's precision and success.
Flowmetry is a technique used during CABG to measure blood flow in the bypass grafts, ensuring optimal graft function and long-term viability. By accurately assessing the blood flow, our experienced cardiac surgeons can make informed decisions and adjustments during the surgery, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
The key benefits of flowmetry for CABG include:
1. Optimal Graft Selection: Flowmetry allows our surgeons to determine the suitability of grafts for bypassing the blocked coronary arteries. By assessing the blood flow in real-time, they can choose the most appropriate grafts to provide sufficient blood supply to the heart, maximising the procedure’s effectiveness.
2. Immediate Assessment: Flowmetry provides immediate feedback on the blood flow through the grafts. This allows our surgeons to identify any potential issues or complications during the surgery and make necessary adjustments promptly. It ensures that the grafts are functioning optimally before completing the procedure, reducing the risk of postoperative complications.
3. Enhanced Long-Term Graft Patency: By utilising flowmetry, we can ensure that the bypass grafts function properly and deliver adequate blood supply to the heart muscle. This contributes to improved long-term graft patency, reducing the likelihood of graft blockages or the need for additional interventions in the future.
