Abstract
Surgical coronary revascularization according to current guidelines is the best treatment in specific groups of patients with significant coronary artery disease. The main problem that is limiting long-term effect of coronary surgery is to maintain flow in bypasses. Blood flowing through the vessel is subject to different physical laws, such as: differential pressure, Hagen-Poiseuille, continuous flow or Bernoulli. On the basis of these rights are established guidelines for selection of patients for coronary bypass procedures. Understanding the rules governing the system of connected vessels, which is formed by the native coronary arteries and performed bypasses, is the key to knowing which patients would have greater benefit from surgery and in whom the patency of the bypass would remain longer.
