Abstract
We describe a simple technique of introducing intracoronary shunts for off-pump coronary artery bypass. This technique, with an aid of micro-bulldog clamp, provides both a test clamp with ischemic preconditioning effect, and a quick and easy introduction of intracoronary shunt, giving a clear visualization of coronary anastomosis site and distal coronary artery perfusion. We recommend this technique as another effective modality in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.
