Skeletonized arterial graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting

摘要

A skeletonized arterial graft holder, designed for use during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, is described. This new holder is atraumatic and holds a skeletonized arterial graft securely during anastomosis. It helps the operator to make the first several stitches avoiding graft injuries, and the use of this instrument facilitates the use of skeletonized arterial grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting.
