Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting on cardiopulmonary bypass with robotically enhanced telemanipulation: Report of forty-five cases

Abstract: The present data show the feasibility of closed chest single- and double-vessel revascularization, with good clinical results. However, procedural time is prolonged and the complex endoscopic and endoaortic occlusion techniques, as well as the extensive anesthesiologic monitoring, are demanding. The need for conversion to an open procedure diminished after a relatively short learning curve. All postulated benefits of totally endoscopic surgery other than excellent cosmesis must be evaluated in larger cohorts.

“…The most significant experiences with TECABG were reported by MOHR et al [18] and DOGAN et al [22] [23] demonstrated a conversion rate to open surgery of 22% at the start of their experience, which was reduced to 5% in the last 30 patients (total conversion rate 10 cases, with seven converted to minithoracotomies and three to sternotomies), with a total surgery time of 61 ± 5 minutes. The 22 patients who underwent catheterism presented patency of the graft and six months after, all the patients in the series were free of symptoms.…”

“…In the remaining 18 patients, grafts were widely patent at 3 months with no major complications. The same group subsequently reported the first off-pump TECAB using an endoscopic stabilizing device (18) (19). The initial conversion rate of 22% dropped to 5% in the last 20 patients.…”

“…We evaluated the effect of pulmonary function testing on outcomes in TECAB in 174 consecutive TECAB patients at the University of Maryland; 16 of 174 (9.2%) patients required conversion to sternotomy. h, P=0.001), and longer hospital stay (6 [3-18] vs. 5 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] days, P=0.001).…”

“…In the last 20 patients of this series, only 1 conversion to mini-thoracotomy (5%) was required. 11 In 2003, Novick et al 12 of London, Ontario, analyzed their learning curve for beating-heart robotic CABG. With an overall experience of 90 cases, they found that operating time was reduced from a mean of 537±119 min in the first quintile to 307±56 min in the last quintile.…”
