The success of an arterial reconstruction is dependent on multiple factors, including patient selection, quality of the vessels, type of vascular conduit employed, and the surgical technique adopted. Transit time flow measurement is a technique that is now the standard of care for immediate graft patency verification following coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This study demonstrates that transit time flow measurement can be successfully used to evaluate renal transplant anastomoses: accurate intraoperative measurements provide a rapid objective assessment of renal graft patency.
