DEVICE FOR SUTURELESS ANASTOMOSIS

IN AORTIC SURGERY

 

REFERENCES

 

            The device was extensively evaluated in animal experiments, confirming the expected results and advantages. In particular animal experiments were conducted mainly in swine descending aorta at lab of Experimental Surgery of University of Pavia. More recently further swine experiments were successfully conducted at Cardiothotacic Surgery Dept of Second Military Medical University, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, RP China.

            Experimental and clinical data were reported at major international meetings and published in major peer reviewed international Journal.
