title: [Application of large curved forceps for taping in cardiovascular surgery].
abstract: A new large curved forceps was manufactured for trial with the object of taping in cardiovascular surgery. Widely used and commercially available forceps could be utilized on the taping of large vessel less than 5 to 5.8 cm in diameter. With this new forceps, aneurysmally dilate great vessels (less than 8 cm in diameter) could be safely taped without compression of aortic wall. This forceps has already applied not only for the major vascular surgery, but also for the wearing of cardiac net in coronary artery bypass grafting.
