STS 2026 was a whirlwind of intellectual minds and colorful presentations. New ideas and technologies could be found in abundance, just as traditional methods were discussed and refined. Speaking of tradition, CABG surgery itself is a long-standing procedure, with modern techniques dating back to the 1960’s.* As a result, STS has a venerable feel to it, representing tested-and-true methodology that has been successfully employed millions of times across our world.

We were glad to be there, and felt a bit venerable ourselves, being the company that originated flow measurements for CABG surgery, with our methods dating back to the 1980’s. The basics of our flow measurements haven’t changed for the same reason that the foundational techniques of CABG surgery haven’t: when a procedure is repeatedly refined to its simplest, cleanest, and most precise form, little improvement is possible. That’s engineering at its finest—whether electrical or biomechanical.

Engineering is the “heart” of what we do (to employ an STS-related pun.) The human body is the most complex biomechanical device ever created, and the heart is the pump that keeps it all alive. We work with cardiac surgeons to provide the parameter that many of them didn’t know was possible: flow measurement inside a vessel in its native state.

Why perform a flow augmentation surgery without checking that flow? Too many unseen things can go wrong… So click here to see what can go right, helping you protect your patients and your reputation as a surgeon.
