Aortic suturing device for open aortic anastomosis with synthetic covering

Open aneurysmectomy of abdominal artery needs blocking aortic lumen. Duration of its blocking is a factor which define outcome of open surgery. Aimed at minimizing duration of aortic block, the company «ES Vascular Ltd.» developed original aortic suturing device (ASD). The aim of this clinical study was the assessment of ASD activity in the process of non-suture proximal anastomosis of synthetic prosthesis with aorta. Main factor of assessing the method efficacy was duration which was taken to perform non-suture anastomosis. Mean number of additional sutures needed while using ASD was 1.20. Mean duration of aortic blocking was 50.1 min. Using ASD results in uniform line of agraffes between vascular prosthesis and aortic wall.
