[Vein holder--a new device for coronary artery bypass grafting]
Abstract
A new saphenous vein graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting was described. This graft holder is a modification of a tissue forceps, the tips of which were changed to hollow-beveled, spoon shape. A saphenous vein graft can be pinched between the tips of this holder securely and gently during anastomosis. It enables us to place precise stitches and to minimize handling, anastomosis time, and leakage.
