A method and device are disclosed directed at harvesting of vessels, such as arteries and veins, especially as required in vessel grafting procedures. The device and method discloses a cannula-like device that provides identification, capture, manipulation, cautery and cleavage of branch vessels from the harvested vessel. In certain preferred embodiments of the disclosed method and device, irrigants containing CO2, as well as other agents capable of stimulate release of nitric oxide from vascular endothelium are applied to subject vessels so as to enhance the viability of vessels to be harvested as graft material.
