Abstract
The Janke-Barron heart support was used successfully on 1500 patients who required coronary artery bypass surgery to at least two vessels. The significant advantages it provided were improved exposure and access to all coronary arteries, elimination of damage caused by an assistant holding the heart, provision of a dryer operating field, and allowance for a smaller incision without compromising exposure of the heart.
