Popis: Objective: To observe the time required for anastomosis and the reliability for pressure tolerance after internal mammay artery (IMA)-coronary artery anastomosis. Method: Eight sheep underwent thoracotomy and left IMA harvest. In group I (T) the IMA were anastomosed to left anterior descending artery (LAD) with 7-0 prolene suture (n=4) and in group II (LA) IMA were anastomosed to LAD with laser. Result: The time required for laser technique was shorter than that required in suturing technique [117.5±39.48min (total) and 38.25±6.23 min vs 62.5±37.83 min (total) and 20±6.53 min respectively] (p
