Distal Anastomosis Systems

C-Port® Distal Anastomosis Systems (C-Port systems)

Our C-Port systems attach the end of a bypass graft to a coronary artery downstream of an occlusion or narrowing during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The latest generation C-Port systems are currently cleared for use in the United States and bear the CE Mark of conformity for sale in the European Union.

C-Port® X-CHANGEDistal Anastomosis Systems
C-Port® Flex-A® Anastomosis System

C-Port systems:

  • Can be used on- or off-pump;
  • Create compliant anastomoses, which can expand and contract with blood flow;
  • Use miniature stainless steel staples to secure the bypass graft to the coronary artery;
  • Reduce time required for anastomosis and is complete in two minutes;
  • Produce consistent, reproducible anastomoses, largely independent of surgical technique and skill set;
  • Do not interrupt blood flow while the anastomosis is being completed;
  • Work on coronary arteries as small as 1 millimeter in internal diameter;
  • Allow mechanically governed repeatability and reduced procedural complexity;
  • Work with grafts of various diameters and wall thicknesses less than 1.4 millimeters; and
  • Minimize scarring and potential occlusion of the anastomosis by achieving nearly complete alignment of the natural blood lining surfaces of the coronary artery and the graft.
