Abstract
A simple and inexpensive new graft-holding method is described. This method requires only a cotton bandage to hold the skeletonized graft in off-pump coronary artery bypass. A wet cotton bandage hung between the blades of a retractor can hold grafts in an atraumatic fashion at the center of the operating field and facilitate anastomosis during off-pump coronary artery bypass.
