title: [New method for preparing proximal anastomotic system].
abstract: Heartstring is a useful device. However, the device failure at the time of loading the seal into the delivery device is a troublesome issue. To avoid this problem, we invent a new method using 2 tourniquets made of 5 mm-wide woven Teflon tapes and plastic tubes. Using our method, the loading procedure became easier and more reliable.
