  • Abstract
    Construction of vascular anastomoses by manual suturing is a highly skilled and time-consuming procedure. The St Jude Medical Anastomotic Technology Group has developed a sutureless mechanical anastomosis device, which, when tested in animals, produced anastomoses in less than 3 min and with little training. Here we present the results of the first clinical saphenous-vein to coronary-artery anastomosis by means of this device.
