“The product is designed to improve long-term clinical outcomes after the CABG surgery, by decreasing the incidence of complications of graft failure.”

The registry is a prospective, multi-centre, observational study to evaluate and document the clinical use of DuraGraft and associated outcomes.

Somahlution vice president and chief medical officer Tracy Goeken said: “While our 2,400 patient US retrospective study has already provided convincing real world evidence supporting the clinical benefit of DuraGraft, we anticipate our European registry will complement and support these findings.”

The Spanish registry has enroled patients from Hospital De Cruces Barakaldo, Bilbao, Hospital Ramon y Cajal and Hospital Gregorio Marañon, Madrid and Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela.
