Our mission is to make coronary bypass surgery less invasive, safer, and more consistent. With the Elana® Anastomotic System, we aim to enable minimally invasive procedures as the new standard of care, reducing recovery time and complications for patients worldwide.
The Elana® Anastomotic System builds on a proven 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, without the need to stop the heart.

Meet the Elana® Anastomotic System – a novel device designed to simplify and standardize the most challenging step in bypass surgery: the creation of the distal anastomosis. The system uses a specially designed clip to connect a graft to the coronary artery, followed by a laser catheter that safely opens the vessels. This approach has the potential to make bypass surgery faster, more reproducible, and compatible with minimally invasive and robotic 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).
