A multipurpose arterial graft holder designed for use during coronary artery bypass grafting is described. This new holder is atraumatic and holds the arterial grafts and saphenous vein graft securely during anastomosis. The use of this instrument facilitates the use of multiple arterial grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting.References
