“…Therefore, we have created an experimental model that can freely set the stenosis rate of coronary arteries and graft anastomosis, and have analyzed data on the blood flow waveform of the coronary arteries and grafts. 13) Additionally, many reports support the utility of IABP in ischemic heart disease, [10][11][12] owing to the observed effect of IABP increasing the coronary blood flow. Hence, as there are few studies of the effects of CABG on grafts, 7) in the present study, we examined the effects of IABP on coronary blood flow and grafts experimentally.…”
