Abstract
The aim of coronary artery surgery is to eliminate myocardial ischemia distal to critical coronary artery stenoses. This aim is not fulfilled if early graft occlusion occurs. A low graft flow measured during surgery predicts an increased risk of graft occlusion (1–4). Thus it could be of value to study the effect of various anaesthetic regimens on graft blood flow. A “high pressure-high demand” technique would probably be accompanied by a comparatively higher graft flow than a “low pressure-low demand technique”.
