Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via left anterior small thoracotomy is established for anterior wall revascularization.
  • Robotic surgical systems, introduced in 1998, facilitate totally endoscopic closed-chest cardiac procedures.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting.
  • The procedures utilized the daVinci surgical system for revascularization.

Findings:

  • Sequential arterial revascularization was achieved using the left internal thoracic artery.
  • Bypass grafting was performed to the left anterior descending artery and the first diagonal branch.

Implications:
