Abstract
Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) through a small anterior minithoracotomy for single-vessel revascularization to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) have been introduced as an alternative to standard coronary artery bypass grafting and have become widely employed [3, 14]. For further improvement in patient outcome, new clinical pathways have emerged [5]. With an endoscopic approach using robotic-enhanced surgery, the surgical trauma can be minimized. Endoscopic techniques allows complete and atraumatic mobilization of the internal mammary artery (IMA) with a small amount of chest wall trauma. Thus, no spreading of the rib cage or removal of ribs is required, reducing postoperative pain and improving patient satisfaction.
