Executive Summary
Researchers in the US have successfully used CryoLife's protein-based surgical adhesive BioGlue to attach vein grafts in experimental bypass surgery performed on goat hearts. The technique could one day be used to re-attach coronary arteries without sutures in minimally-invasive human heart surgery, making the procedure easier and less expensive, says CryoLife president and CEO Steven Anderson.
