Abstract
A soft vascular clamp was used for hemostasis and stabilization of the operative field during minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). The instrument was gently applied so that it clamps the coronary artery by grasping the adjacent myocardium. The method offered dry and stable operative field without a special instrument or technique. The surgical results have been satisfactory. We found application of the vascular clamp to be very helpful for MIDCAB.
