Acute flow adjustments in coronary flow are presented as percent variation (%) from the healthy baseline anatomy is given in the parenthesis
aAfter LIMA graft optimization coronary perfusion remained very similar (<2% variation) to the single graft revascularization level and these results are not presented in this table
