ABSTRACT:
A support arm for a heart stabilizer that can be used to stabilize a heart during a beating heart coronary artery bypass graft procedure. The support arm may have an arm that is coupled to a table mount and an end effector. The table mount is adapted to be mounted to the rail of a surgical table. The end effector is adapted to hold the heart stabilizer. The arm may be adjustable to allow an end user to adjust the position of the end effector.
