美国Cardica, Inc www.cardica.com
Cardica designs and manufactures proprietary products which automate the connections, or anastomoses, of blood vessels during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and other grafting surgeries. During CABG procedures, a surgeon takes a small part of a blood vessel from another part of the body and attaches it across an area of severe narrowing or blockage, "bypassing" the portion of the artery that is impairing blood flow to the heart muscle. The connection of this vessel, the anastomosis, is often considered the most critical aspect of the procedure.
We believe that by replacing hand-sewn sutures with automated systems, our C-Port® Anastomosis Systems (C-Port systems) and PAS-Port® Proximal Anastomosis System (PAS-Port system) allow cardiovascular surgeons to perform consistent, reliable anastomoses with even the smallest of vessels, ultimately improving patient outcomes. The C-Port systems are commercially available in the United States and Europe. The PAS-Port system is commercially available in the United States, Europe and Japan.
