Hi

I cannot understand some things about arterial anastomosis eg in coronary bypass.

How is the incision done on the aorta while blood is flowing under high pressure?

How are the vascular grafts attatched?

Thanks

I'm no medic but I think (and hope) the answer to "How is arterial anastomosis performed?" is "very carefully"

Aren't you going to kill the patient if you clamp their aorta or coronary artery?

Not if you are quick.

or if you use a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, which decreases the urgency and allows you to work on a stationary heart.
