The traditional method of occlusion of the coronary artery, by looping and suspension with thread or elastic slings, carries some potential risk for damage to the vessels. We report another method for temporary coronary artery occlusion involving parallel placement of stitches with pledgets along the coronary artery distal and proximal to the target area. This offers a clean operative held by gentle occlusion of the target coronary artery. (Ann Thorac Surg 2001; 71:1712-13) (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.en-USjournal article
