The Study plan is a post-market prospective, multi-center, open-label registry. The vein
graft failure rates for the currently commercialized C-Port devices will be compared to an a
priori rate taken from the peer-reviewed literature.

To satisfy the requirements set forth in post-market surveillance orders issued by the US
FDA to Cardica, Inc., the following outcomes will be evaluated:

1. Acute, midterm, and one-year graft failure rates for coronary revascularization using
the C-Port® xA™ Distal Anastomosis System, C-Port® FlexA™ Distal Anastomosis System,
and C-Port® XCHANGE™ Distal Anastomosis System when in general use in the United States
compared to hand-sewn anastomoses.

2. Technical failure rates when attempting to complete an anastomosis using the C-Port xA,
FlexA, and XCHANGE Distal Anastomosis Systems.

3. The technical success rate of hand-sewn anastomoses following technical failures of the
C-Port devices and the hand-sewn graft patency rates and clinical sequelae at one year.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Able to give informed consent.

- Willing and able to have follow-up visits and examinations.

- Less than 80 years old.

- Have an ejection fraction of >30 %.

- Have a life expectancy of >1 year.

Pre-Operative Exclusion Criteria:

- Currently participating in other clinical trials that would conflict with this
protocol.

- Unable to meet study requirements.

- Currently pregnant.

- Require preoperative use of an intraaortic balloon pump.

- Have a history of a bleeding disorder or history of a thromboembolic disease
requiring anticoagulation therapy.

- Have congestive heart failure or been classified as NYHA Class IV.

- Have an aspirin allergy or other contraindications to aspirin use.

- Previous coronary artery bypass surgery.

- Vasculitis or other nonatherosclerotic cause for coronary artery disease.

Intra-Operative Exclusion Criteria:

- At least one target vessel site where the C-Port anastomosis will be placed that is
free from severe calcification or severe atheromas

- Target vessel wall properties where the C-Port anastomosis will be placed are
suitable for hand-sewn anastomosis

- Target vessel diameter is ≥ 1.3 mm

- Target vessel has a single wall thickness ≤ 0.75mm

- Hemodynamically stable
