Abstract:Current technology in robotic surgery allows us to perform myocardial
revascularization procedures in a totally endoscopic fashion. We will describe the
technique of choice for left internal mammary artery to left anterior descendent
artery anastomosis with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The method is
efficient and there is long term follow-up showing similar patency of the graft when
compared to conventional methods (when performed through sternotomy).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
