Abstract
A method of stabilization of the heart during construction of the distal anastomosis in coronary artery procedures without cardiopulmonary bypass is described. The technique exposes and immobilizes the coronary artery, allowing a precise anastomosis on the beating heart. In addition, it is simple, safe, and inexpensive.
