Internal mammary--coronary artery anastomosis. "No-touch" technique.

A simple technique for internal mammary--coronary artery anastomosis that can be applied to all branches of the coronary circulation is described. The anastomosis can be constructed in 10 to 15 minutes. This technique eliminates pinching of the internal mammary artery by forceps.
