“…The total number of off-pump cases performed was 258. The inclusion criteria were the following: (1) cases performed by a single surgeon who met the criteria to be qualified as expert with the off-pump technique; (2) LVEF > 30%; (3) saphenous vein dimension between 4 and 6 mm (required by the system); and (4) need for at least one venous graft.…”

“…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).…”

“…It has been reported that some good results on short and mid-term patency of PAS-Port ® system. [4][5][6][7] In this study, rather than to examine the patency of the SVG itself, showed a long-term safety proximal anastomosis device. Continued future, long-term follow-up is a necessity.…”

“…3) Introduction of automatic anastomotic devices in Japan began with the approval of the PAS-Port ® system (Cardica, Inc., Redwood City, California, USA) in 2006. The usefulness of PAS-Port ® system has been reported by various authors, [4][5][6][7] but the long-term results of its use have not yet been studied in Japan. We report the results of our morphological study of graft proximal anastomosis with the use of PAS-Port ® system, on both short and long-term graft patency, employing multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).…”

Purpose: We examined grafts employing for morphological analysis of early and long-term results on proximal anastomosis with the PAS-Port ® . Methods: One hundred and four patients treated by OPCAB with PAS-Port ® were performed postoperative MDCT. Morphological evaluation of the proximal anastomotic region was classified into three groups (A; graft was anastomosed almost perpendicularly to the aortic wall, B; graft was same type A, but subsequently curved to form an acute angle with the aortic wall, C; graft take off acute angle with the aortic wall) evaluated on planar and sagittal sections. Results: One hundred twenty-six PAS-Port ® were used. Patency rate was 99.0% at discharge, 94.7% at 1 year, and no blockages were detected thereafter in patients examined. The morphology rate was A 50.6%, B 15.3% and C 34.1% on planar sections, and A 58.8%, B 10.6% and C 30.6% on sagittal sections. Conclusion: The morphological evaluation of grafts revealed the degree of freedom in graft design to be relatively high and long-term patency posed no particular problem even if the layout of the proximal anastomotic region involved a relatively acute angle. The PAS-Port ® was considered to be a highly reliable device which performed appropriate proximal anastomosis and improved the patency of vein grafting to the aortic wall.
