“…Nowadays, mitral valve surgery and correction of atrial septal defects surgery are performed with the same safety for the patient, as previously demonstrated 11-15 . This benefit could be extended to other procedures: removal of cardiac tumors, surgical ablation, arrhythmia, pericardial procedures and dissection of grafts.…”

“…We used videothoraccoscopy or dissection of left internal thoracic artery and left anterior minithoracotomy for coronary implantation. Several authors have used this technique including Brazil [28,52], but the greatest advances in minimally invasive CABG have been shown today. Surgical procedures using robotics have allowed for multivessel coronary revascularization, in a totally endoscopic manner [53,54].…”

“…3,4 Recently, several cardiovascular surgical teams directed their attention to minimally invasive CABG to offer new horizons in cardiac surgery as well as to eliminate the effects of CPB. [5][6][7][8][9][10]14 Preparation of the patient as for open heart surgery gives the surgeon more choices during the operation and makes it easier to decide on aggressive treatment of any complication or to switch to an open heart procedure. During cardiac manipulation or coronary anastomosis,…”

“…3,4 Recently, cardiac surgeons have directed their attention to minimally invasive procedures, including off-pump coronary bypass through a median sternotomy or thoracotomy, port-access coronary bypass or video-assisted thoracoscopic coronary bypass. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Patient selection criteria and indications for use of these techniques have not been examined in detail. Although several large series have been reported, late postoperative angiographic data have been limited, and patient selection criteria has not been based specifically on long-term results.…”
