  • Title: A simple technique of introducing intracoronary shunts for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.
    Author: Yokoyama H, Takase S, Misawa Y, Takahashi K, Sato Y, Satokawa H.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 Jul; 78(1):352-4. PubMed ID: 15223470.
    Abstract:
    We describe a simple technique of introducing intracoronary shunts for off-pump coronary artery bypass. This technique, with an aid of micro-bulldog clamp, provides both a test clamp with ischemic preconditioning effect, and a quick and easy introduction of intracoronary shunt, giving a clear visualization of coronary anastomosis site and distal coronary artery perfusion. We recommend this technique as another effective modality in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.
