Abstract

We present here-in the technical details of harvesting the left radial artery in a 50-year- old man undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. The radial artery has been harvested atraumatically using a Harmonic scalpel (Ethicon Endosurgery LLC, Johnson & Johnson Company, Guaynaba, Puerto Rico, USA) and two vessel loops by “No touch” technique, thereby preventing perioperative spasm. The postoperative recovery was uneventful.
