title: [Anastomosis in coronary surgery: technical improvement using a vein-holding instrument].
abstract: A vein holder for vascular surgery is described. Distal (direct or sequential) as well as proximal anastomoses in aorto-coronary bypass surgery can be easily performed with that instrument. It minimizes handling of the graft and provides an excellent visualization in placing sutures in half of the circumference at both ends of the venous graft.
