Vascular anastomosis with Mobin-Uddin vein/graft holder

A vein/graft holder, designed for use during aortocoronary and peripheral vascular bypass surgery, is described. It holds the opening in a vein or synthetic graft securely during end-to-side and side-to-side anastomosis. The vein/graft holder is atraumatic, simplifies the suturing technique, and facilitates precise anastomosis.
