ABSTRACT

The microsurgical triple clamp has been developed for use when grafting arteries and veins. Advantages are that the grafting technique can be performed by one person, that the clamp anchors the graft so that quick yet accurate anastomoses can be performed, and that visualization of the back wall is possible throughout the anastomosis.
