Abstract

Off pump coronary artery bypass grafting has become a widely accepted method for coronary revascularization. The use of mist blower improves the visibility and facilitate in the graft anastomosis. We use a reproducible, on-table assembled blower-mister system to give a clear operative field, which is not only as effective as the commercial blowers but it also easy to make with on-table available components.
