Abstract
Recently, a new proximal anastomosis device of a saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the aorta, the PAS-Port device (Cardica, Redwood City, Calif) has been introduced and yielded encouraging results in terms of neurologic complications and early patency. However, there is a concern about the midterm (at least 1 year after surgical intervention) patency rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the midterm patency rate of SVGs whose proximal anastomosis was performed with the PAS-Port device.
