The Elana® Anastomotic System is designed for use in coronary bypass surgery and is intended to support the evolution of less invasive and robotic-assisted CABG approaches
Our mission is to advance coronary bypass surgery by supporting less invasive and more consistent surgical approaches. With the Elana® Anastomotic System, we aim to help expand the adoption of minimally invasive CABG techniques and improve procedural efficiency for surgeons and care teams.
The Elana® Anastomotic System builds on a technology platform originally developed for neurosurgery. AMT Medical has redesigned and optimized this innovation for the heart, creating a dedicated solution for coronary artery bypass surgery. The system is specifically designed for both open and minimally invasive procedures, including off-pump surgical approaches.

Meet the Elana® Anastomotic System – a novel device designed to support the creation of the distal anastomosis in coronary bypass surgery. The system uses a specially designed clip to connect a graft to the coronary artery, followed by a laser catheter to create the arteriotomy.
This approach is intended to support procedural efficiency and consistency and may facilitate the use of minimally invasive and, in the future, robotic-assisted CABG techniques.
The Elana® Anastomotic System is designed to create a standardized and reproducible anastomosis, reducing dependence on individual surgical skill. The procedure can be performed on a beating heart, avoiding the need for a heart-lung machine. Over time, this may support the wider adoption of minimally invasive approaches such as MIDCAB (incision between the ribs) and TECAB (multiple small incisions using a robot).
