A Safer, More Flexible Graft
A New Surgery for Heart Disease
A new graft for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been developed that is safer and more flexible than traditional grafts.
The new graft, which is made from a synthetic material, was developed by a team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego. The graft was tested in a study of 150 patients who had undergone CABG. The study found that the new graft was associated with a lower risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection, and thrombosis, than traditional grafts.
The new graft is also more flexible than traditional grafts, which makes it easier to implant in patients with complex anatomy. This flexibility may also reduce the risk of restenosis, or the narrowing of the graft, which can occur over time.
The study's findings suggest that the new graft could be a significant improvement over traditional grafts for CABG. The new graft is safer, more flexible, and may reduce the risk of restenosis. This could make it a more effective option for patients with heart disease.
