“…Automated saphenous-to-aorta anastomoses have been studied, using the Cardica PAS-Port 1 connector (Cardica, Inc., Redwood City, CA, USA). The early patency has been high, [1][2][3][4][5][6] but there are very few data on the actual patency rate following the first year of follow-up. 4 The aim of this study is to verify if the patency rate of the device is stable over time and its performance is safe and reliable both in the early phase and late phase following clampless coronary artery bypass (C-CAB).…”

“…Early postoperative angiography showed no bending or stenosis in any graft, and a patency rate of 100%. Kai, et al 13) reported mid-term patency rate of saphenous vein grafts using the PAS-Port. Among 66 patients who had saphenous vein grafts, 46 patients survived at least 1 year after surgery, and 38 patients consented to late follow-up graft evaluation by means of 3-dimensional computed tomography.…”

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is performed in about 65% of patients who require surgical coronary revascularization, and has become the standard procedure in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Japan. As a background of the high rate of OPCAB, many clinical and experimental studies have been performed and reported in Japan. In this review, several factors associated with OPCAB are discussed based on relevant and important clinical studies published in Japan in the English language.

“…Proximal anastomosis devices have recently been introduced to reduce the operating time [9]. PAS-port (Century Medical Inc.) is a device that we now use as the first choice if the caliber of the veins is limited to 4.0 -6.0 mm.…”

Preoperative echography of a saphenous vein graft (SVG) was studied. In 58 cases of consecutive coronary artery bypass grafting, 31 patients underwent SVG echography. Preoperative assessment revealed vein caliber, branching, or varicose saphenous veins. The location of the saphenous vein was marked. Saphenous veins were harvested by the open harvest technique, and the caliber of the veins and the availability of the anastomosis device were recorded. Postoperative morbidity was recorded. Preoperative findings revealed that four (6.5%) of 62 femoral saphenous veins were estimated as "not graftable" because of being a varicose vein or having a small caliber. Seven of 32 lower saphenous veins were estimated as "not graftable". The mean discrepancy of the caliber was 0.6 mm undersized with preoperative estimation. During harvesting, one of 31 patients had a wrong marking. We were able to use all harvested veins. The morbidity of saphenous harvesting was observed in two (6.5%) of 31 patients. One patient whose marking was wrong had minor skin necrosis. Another patient experienced a hematoma because of the excess effect of warfarin. Preoperative ultrasonic mapping of the saphenous vein reduced useless harvesting, provided information concerning anastomosis device availability, and seemed to reduce morbidity because dissection can be minimal.
