We found no differences either in the mean or in the peak graft flows during pulsatile and nonpulsatile artificial perfusion, but during pulsatile supportive perfusion the instantaneous graft flow tended to increase towards the end of the diastole—as in a spontaneously beating heart—whereas nonpulsatile perfusion generated maximum graft flow at the beginning of the diastole. The combined influence of the techniques used and patients’ well-being on the graft flows is discussed. Pulsatile perfusion may reduce the duration of the partial and total supportive perfusion in coronary bypass surgery.
