welcomes you to the new, improved website!Coronary and/or CT angiograms were performed on 585 of 762 (94%) patients at varying intervals after CABG using the PAS-Port System proximal anastomotic device. The authors retrospectively evaluated the SVG patency at a mean follow-up interval (between CABG and the diagnostic procedures) was 319 ± 624 days. The patency rates of the SVG grafts performed with the device were 90% and 81% at 1 and 5 years, respectively, which compare very favorably with established SVG patency rates.
