Abstract
A novel technique of stabilization of the coronary targets with autogenous pericardial bands is described in off pump
coronary revascularizations. Pericardial bands are placed across the coronary targets and snared to the pericardial well
for local cardiac immobilization. This technique can be used as an alternate to mechanical stabilizers for immobilization
of the coronary targets.
