  • Patent number: 7011643
    Abstract: A grafted network including one or more graft segments for use in coronary bypass procedures and which are configured to operably transport bypass blood flow from a singular supply location to one or more delivery locations in the grafted network is provided in combination with one or more multiple channel blood flow connectors for directing such bypass blood flow in the grafted network to one or more vascular members requiring restorative blood flow thereto. The grafted network also preferably includes one or more devices for operably maintaining the grafted network under relatively high internal fluid pressure so as to continuously supply selective vascular members with adequate bypass blood flow.

  • Patent number: 6241764
    Abstract: Improved stented grafts for coupling vascular members, and for use in surgical implantation during coronary bypass operations. The stented graft of the present invention comprises a plurality of graft link segments, each having a lumen for accommodating blood flow, and with at least one graft link segment being secured to one end of a vascular stent forming a junction between a supply lumen and a delivery lumen. The delivery lumen is arranged to be inserted into the patient's vascular system downstream from blockage in the coronary artery. In order to provide ease of access for the attachment of a second graft link segment to the stent assembly, the individual tubular element or elements defining the dual lumen assembly are axially offset, one from the other, in order to expose the free end of the stent for receiving a second graft link segment.
