Abstract:
We read with great interest the report describing the first robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) in Southeast Asia. While this achievement deserves recognition, we believe several aspects-including revascularization strategy, prolonged operative and recovery times, and the lack of intraoperative transit-time flow measurement-require further clarification to accurately interpret the clinical significance of this pioneering experience.
