Vettath's blower and blower/mister - a simple device for OPCAB surgery.
Since the advent of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, a blower/mister has been routinely used in cardiac operation theatres. In our setup, in an attempt to reduce the cost of coronary artery bypass grafting by performing off-pump coronary artery bypass, reusable materials have been routinely used.
