Mid-Term Patency After Magnetic Coupling for Distal Bypass Anastomosis in Coronary Surgery

The MVP is the only mechanical connector for distal anastomoses applicable for all kind of grafts, for all coronary artery locations, and with both end-to-side and side-to-side technique. Mid-term patency of MVP anastomoses is acceptable but inferior to the patency of hand-sewn anastomoses. Occlusion of MVP supplied grafts may be produced by small device size.
