The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
|November 1, 1986
Summary
A novel vein/graft holder secures openings in vascular grafts during bypass surgery. This atraumatic device simplifies suturing for precise anastomosis.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Surgical Instrumentation
Background:
- Anastomosis is a critical step in vascular bypass procedures.
- Maintaining graft patency and precise suture alignment are essential for surgical success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a new atraumatic vein/graft holder.
- To describe its utility in aortocoronary and peripheral vascular bypass surgery.
Main Methods:
- Description of a newly designed vein/graft holder.
- Application of the holder during end-to-side and side-to-side anastomosis.
Main Results:
- The holder securely maintains the opening in vein or synthetic grafts.
- The device simplifies the suturing technique.
- It facilitates precise anastomosis.
Conclusions:
- The described vein/graft holder is a valuable tool for vascular bypass surgery.
- It enhances the precision and ease of performing anastomosis.
- The atraumatic design contributes to improved surgical outcomes.
