Role of coronary collaterals in off-pump and on-pump coronary bypass surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hemodynamic stability after Norwood palliation often requires manipulation of pulmonary vascular resistance to alter the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp:Qs). Qp:Qs is often estimated from arterial saturation (SaO2), a practice based on 2 untested assumptions: constant systemic arteriovenous O2 dif...
