Stainless steel markers for aorta--saphenous vein anastomosis
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
|March 1, 1978
Abstract:
A stainless steel marker for tagging the proximal aorta--saphenous vein anastomosis in a bypass operation has been devised and utilized in more than 600 patients over the past 3 years. This marker has been found superior to other methods used for marking vein grafts in that it encircles the anastomosis, providing accurate marking, and can be attached after both anastomoses are complete.
