title: The use of a Perma-Flow graft for coronary artery bypass surgery.
abstract: We report on our first clinical use of a Perma-Flow graft for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). It may well be that repeated successful use of this graft will offer a chance for revascularization to patients who might otherwise have been denied for lack of appropriate vessels.
