Background Several proximal anastomosis devices have been developed to shorten the
time required for a proximal anastomosis and to avoid aortic cross-/side-clamping during …

OBJECTIVE: During coronary surgery, proximal vein graft anastomoses have been
performed by using an aortic partial occlusion clamp to allow for a hand-sewn anastomosis …

BACKGROUND: The PAS-Port system (Cardica, Inc, Redwood City, CA) was used routinely
for patients undergoing coronary surgery with at least one venous graft. Graft patency and …

BACKGROUND: The PAS-Port device (Cardica, Redwood City, CA) allows the rapid
deployment of a clampless proximal anastomosis between a vein graft and the aorta …

DISCUSSION Stroke is a devastating complication of CABG. Manipulation of the aorta using
techniques such as crossclamping is thought to be a predisposing risk factor. The off-pump …

BACKGROUND: The PAS-Port (Cardica Inc, Redwood City, CA) is an automated system that
allows for the clampless anastomosis of vein grafts to the aorta. The intent of this study was …

Backgrounds: The purpose of this study was to compare the long term patency of PAS-Port
system with other hand-sewn anastomosis system. METHODS: From 2009 to 2018, a total of …

The use of an automatic aortic connector device for proximal saphenous vein graft
anastomoses eliminates the need for aortic clamping during off-pump coronary artery …

BACKGROUND: Until now technologic evolution in coronary bypass surgery has focused on
extracorporeal circulation, on operation without extracorporeal circulation, and on the …

Background: Clampless proximal anastomoses are associated with fewer strokes in
coronary artery bypass (CAB) graft surgery, but lack of patency of proximal grafts has been …
