Per the instructions for use, the user is instructed to grasp the conduit close to the implant with forceps while the device is being removed to avoid placing tension on the anastomosis.The user is also instructed to wet the venous conduit and the device by flushing with non-cellular physiologic solution if the venous conduit has become dried to the inside of the device.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing an off-pump coronary artery bypass.Following deployment of the implant to the aorta, the surgeon tried to remove the delivery device but found it was difficult to remove.The surgeon "strongly pulled the device," which caused separation of the anatomosis between the aorta and the saphenous vein graft (svg) which had been formed by use of the implant.The surgeon then completed the bypass by suturing the same svg at an alternate aortic location.There were no reported patient complications and the procedure was completed.
