Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has evolved to become the gold standard in
elective revascularization for coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in patients with …

Abstract Background Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) are considered to be the standard
conduits used for coronary revascularization. Recently minimally invasive procedures are …

Background This study aims to investigate the risk factors and surgical outcomes of
conversion to median sternotomy in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass …

Background Minimally invasive repair of congenital heart defects in children has not gained
wide popularity yet compared to minimally invasive approaches in adults. We sought to …

Objectives: Minimally invasive coronary surgery (MICS) via lateral thoracotomy is a less
invasive alternative to the traditional median full sternotomy approach for coronary surgery …

Background Robotic assistance (RA) in the harvesting of the internal thoracic artery during
minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) provides several …

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed through a left anterior small
thoracotomy (LAST) without utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has become an …

Objective: We evaluated the effectiveness of a consistent and structured self-practice
coronary anastomosis program using a homemade low-fidelity beating-heart simulator …

The recent reconfirmation of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) superiority over current
percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in various clinical scenarios resulted in renewed …

Objective: Robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB)
