We describe a simple and expeditious technique for harvesting the internal
mammary artery for minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass. This
technique utilizes video-assistance but does not require dedicated
endoscopic surgical instruments. With this method complete mobilization of
the entire length of the artery can be easily achieved.
