Coronary grafting is the commonest operation nowadays performed in the Western world. Its success depends on the quality of the vein harvested; this task should be the duty of the most skilled surgeon of the team. This article lays down a rational quick efficient and successful technique so that the coordinated simultaneous procedures necessary in the early phase of a coronary graft operation result in an excellent vein in good time for its implantation in the heart.
