Purpose Of Review:
The purpose of this review is to assess the current state of robotics in coronary revascularization and to consider what advances may be forthcoming.
Recent Findings:
Several groups have been able to utilize robotic telemanipulation to perform coronary revascularization via limited access. Although the patients are highly selected, results in experienced centers are comparable to open coronary artery bypass grafting.
Summary:
The ultimate goal of minimally invasive coronary surgery is totally endoscopic coronary revascularization without utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass. This goal can be realized with the utilization of robotic technology.
