Operative considerations in implantation of the Perma-Flow graft.
The Perma-Flow coronary bypass graft (Possis Medical, Inc, Minneapolis, MN) currently is undergoing expanded clinical trial. From November 1992 through June 1994 we have used this artificial conduit in 8 patients without autologous alternatives. These cases allowed the establishment of a technical basis for successful implantation of this graft. All studied coronary anastomoses are patent.
