Why VEST?
VEST is a kink resistant cobalt chrome external support which targets the underlying mechanism of vein graft disease: disturbed flow pattern and high wall tension.
Vein graft failure
Vein graft disease after CABG is typically dominated by intimal hyperplasia, which predisposes the graft to accelerated atherosclerosis. Arterial pressure, coupled with abnormal flow patterns generated mainly by luminal irregularities, is the main contributor to both focal and diffuse intimal hyperplasia.
Minutes to implant
- Minutes to implant without affecting grafting technique
- No vein graft manipulation after harvesting
- In sit u adjustability to optimise alignment with the vein graft
- No need for fixation by either glue or sutures
