Abstract
Aortocoronary bypass grafting is an accepted procedure for ischemic heart disease. Proper visualization of the coronary artery is mandatory for good surgical anastomosis. This is essential when a coronary operation is performed without cardioplegia or in surgical procedures without bypass support. For better visualization of a coronary artery, we are presenting a coronary artery clamp. We have used this clamp in minimally invasive coronary artery operations to achieve a bloodless field.
