Abstract

See full text

Marker members of radiopaque material in the form of bands each of a different geometric configuration are sutured to the point at which a surgical graft to a blood vessel is made as in a coronary bypass operation. These ring or other shaped radiopaque members provide markers identifying the exact coronary blood vessel that the graft will lead to, each geometrical shape identifying a different coronary vessel bypassed, thus facilitating bypass graft catherization by identifying the entry point of any specific bypass graft.
