Modified technique of internal mammary artery harvest

LC John, SJ Edmondson and GM Rees
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, England.

A simple method of internal mammary artery harvesting is described. Hydrostatic pressure is used as an aid to dissection of the tissues including the internal mammary artery from the chest wall. The technique minimizes trauma to the mammary artery and allows for a rapid harvest.
