Objectives:
Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR), a revascularization strategy that amalgamates the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), represents a significant advancement in coronary artery disease treatment. This study compares conventional and robotic approaches in HCR.
Methods:
A systematic literature review and individual patient data analysis was conducted via PubMed following PRISMA guidelines, including original works published until 28 February 2025.
Results:
32 publications met the inclusion criteria, providing individual data from 2,048 patients. All patients underwent MIDCAB for LAD lesions and perioperative PCI for non-LAD lesions. 903 patients (670 male, 233 female; mean age 51.69 ± 7.77 years; BMI 34.66 ± 13.13) were treated with robot-assisted HCR, whilst 1,145 patients (890 male, 255 female; mean age 69.62 ± 8.42 years; BMI 26.62 ± 1.30) underwent conventional HCR. The robot-assisted group showed significantly higher rates of right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis (18.60% vs. 16.07%, p = 0.004) and drug-eluting stent use (62.68% vs. 5.42%, p = 0.027), along with significantly shorter hospital stays (4.27 ± 1.34 vs. 10.27 ± 7.34 days, p = 0.001). Although not statistically significant, wound complications were more frequent in the robot-assisted cohort (0.66% vs. 0.09%), whereas pleural effusion (10.74% vs. 0.00%), pericardial effusion (0.61% vs. 0.11%), and pneumothorax (1.83% vs. 0.11%) were more frequent in the conventional group. Mortality was low in both cohorts (robotic vs. conventional): intra-operative (0% vs. 0.09%, p = 0.73), 30-day (0.44% vs. 0.70%, p = 0.82), follow-up (2.66% vs. 4.72%, p = 0.41).
Conclusion:
Hybrid coronary revascularization offers a less invasive alternative with potential benefits. Robotic assistance may enhance outcomes, but limited adoption and heterogeneous data underscore the need for further investigation and validation.
