Author`s Reply:Importance of coronary steal syndrome in the assessment of internal thoracic artery flow

We appreciate the well-advised comments by Gökalp et al. (1) on our paper, “Diagnostic accuracy of Doppler ultrasonography for assessment of internal thoracic artery graft patency: An observational study,” published in this issue. In our study (2), we evaluated a left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft by Doppler ultrasonography. Our results showed that Doppler ultrasonography is useful for assessing the patency of LITA.
