[Salerno, Tomas]

I hope that you are measuring blood flows in the grafts after =
end-arterectomy, or using some form of quality control of the =
anastomoses. Otherwise I assume that all these anastomoses are occluded =
after protamine administration. This would be important as documentation =
that this procedure is worthwhile. I personally no longer do it, with =
very few exceptions.

I am doing about 90% Opcab and have done extensive endarterectomy for =
more than 50 cases. 85% of the graft flow are OK by flowmeter. I think =
the key piont for off-pump endarterectomy is to get the whole =
endarterectomy, then the graft flow will be satisfied.=20
