We report the case of a patient with three-vessel coronary artery disease whose right coronary artery had been stented at the time of the diagnostic procedure. He had recurrent angina 12 days later and was transferred for urgent coronary artery bypass grafting. No repeat coronary angiography was performed. In the operating room, the flow on the native right coronary artery was determined with an ultrasonic flow probe.

Key Words: Coronary artery bypass grafting • Intraoperative flow measurement • Angiography
