With the heart in cardioplegic arrest , harvested arteries and veins are used to connect across problematic regions—a construction known as surgical anastomosis .
The technique uses devices to support the surrounding heart tissues while vital surgery takes place. This is also known as off-pump CABG (OPCAB). OPCAB voids the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which requires the heart to be stopped (arrested) with cardioplegia solution. Off-pump is also known as beating heart surgery. [citation needed]
