Abstract
We describe the construction and use of a novel side graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting. The device is a hammer head-shaped clip used to hold the graft side securely but atraumatically during sequential or composite graft anastomosis. The side graft holder provides gentle stabilization and excellent visualization of the side of the graft without causing graft injury.
