This allows the surgeon to fix a particular area of heart where movements of heart are not transmitted and surgeon can do bypass operation. Here heart lung machine is not used. Thus many possible complications of heart lung machine are avoided. In this diagram left anterior descending artery is being stabilized in preparation for grafting.
