  • Abstract
    A method is described to facilitate harvesting of the mammary artery in minimally invasive direct-vision coronary artery bypass grafting using a 10-cm anterior thoracotomy. Hoisting of the anterior thoracic wall with a modified retractor allows good exposure. Harvesting the mammary artery without the use of endoscopic tools was successful in all 10 cases.
