Coronary bypass grafting with biological grafts in a canine model.
Circulation. 1994; (5 Pt 2): II160-6
Poor patency rates have limited the success of biological vascular grafts in the coronary artery position. Recently, two bovine internal mammary arterial grafts have been developed for possible use as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) conduits: (1) Denaflex grafts (Baxter Health-care Co, 3-mm ID) treated with polyepoxy compounds and with heparin ionically bound to the luminal surface and (2) Bioflow grafts (Bio-Vascular, Inc, 3-mm ID) treated with dialdehyde starch.
