Clamp for coronary artery operations.
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.
