A method of stabilization of the heart and the coronary artery during the construction of the distal anastomosis in coronary artery procedures without cardiopulmonary bypass is described. The technique exposes and immobilizes the coronary artery, allowing a precise anastomosis on the beating heart. In addition, it is simple, safe, and inexpensive.
