Figure 7From: Coronary artery bypass grafting hemodynamics and anastomosis design: a biomedical engineering reviewIn vivo evidence that geometry of ETS anastomosis causes IH. (a) ETS distal anastomosis with a vein patch (b) a section of distal ETS anastomosis; creation of an arbitrary stricture at the hood to simulate the toe (*) results in transferring the IH from the suture-line at the anastomotic toe to the stricture at the hood (physiologic toe); arrows indicate direction of blood flow (taken from [83]).Back to article page
