Figure 13From: Coronary artery bypass grafting hemodynamics and anastomosis design: a biomedical engineering reviewLinton patch. Schematic drawing of a Linton-patched anastomosis. The flow patterns of patched grafts are similar to those of conventional ETS anastomosis. The clinical patency of this technique has been reported to be 65-74% at 12-48Â months post-operative.Back to article page
