Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Sixteen Years of Single-Center Experience. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3338. [PMID: 38893048 PMCID: PMC11173276 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13113338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of death globally. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), using a small left anterior thoracotomy, aims to provide a less invasive alternative to traditional procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes with reduced recovery times. Methods: This retrospective, non-randomized study analyzed 310 patients who underwent MIDCAB between July 1999 and April 2022. Data were collected on demographics, clinical characteristics, operative and postoperative outcomes, and follow-up mortality and morbidity. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS, with survival curves generated via the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The cohort had a mean age of 63.3 ± 10.9 years, with 30.6% females. The majority of surgeries were elective (76.1%), with an average operating time of 129.7 ± 35.3 min. The median rate of intraoperative blood transfusions was 0.0 (CI 0.0-2.0) Units. The mean in-hospital stay was 8.7 ± 5.5 days, and the median ICU stay was just one day. Early postoperative complications were minimal, with a 0.64% in-hospital mortality rate. The 6-month and 1-year mortalities were 0.97%, with a 10-year survival rate of 94.3%. There were two cases of perioperative myocardial infarction and no instances of stroke or new onset dialysis. Conclusions: The MIDCAB approach demonstrates significant benefits in terms of patient recovery and long-term outcomes, offering a viable and effective alternative for patients suitable for less invasive procedures. Our results suggest that MIDCAB is a safe option with favorable survival rates, justifying its consideration in high-volume centers focused on minimally invasive techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the safety and clinical benefits of minimally invasive, nonsternotomy coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG) using data from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database. BACKGROUND MICABG has gained popularity, owing to expected lower perioperative morbidity and shorter recovery. Despite this, concerns remain regarding anastomotic quality and the validity of proposed perioperative benefits. METHODS We queried the STS National Database for all patients who underwent single-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) from January 2014 to December 2016 to compare outcomes of MICABG with conventional CABG. Patients who underwent concomitant or emergent procedures were excluded. Propensity-weighted cohorts were compared by operative approach with adjustment for variability across institutions. RESULTS Of 12,406 eligible patients, 2688 (21.7%) underwent MICABG, and 9818 (78.3%) underwent conventional CABG. Propensity weighting produced excellent balance in patient characteristics, including completeness of revascularization, body mass index, and STS predictive risk scores. MICABG was associated with significant reduction of in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR)=0.32, absolute reduction (AR)=0.91%, P <0.0001]; 30-day mortality (OR=0.51, AR=0.88%, P =0.001), duration of ventilation (8.62 vs 12.6 hours, P <0.0001), prolonged hospitalization (OR=0.77, AR=1.6, P =0.043), deep wound infection (OR=0.33, AR=0.68, P <0.004), postoperative transfusions (OR=0.52, AR=7.7%, P <0.0001), and STS composite morbidity (OR=0.72, AR=1.19%, P =0.008). Subgroup analysis of only off-pump left internal mammary artery-left anterior descending CABG showed similar findings. Major adverse cardiac events and graft occlusion did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS MICABG is associated with lower mortality and perioperative morbidity compared with conventional sternotomy CABG. MICABG may have a role in treating single-vessel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the midterm follow-up and 5-year survival outcome of the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure compared with the survival of the general Swiss population. METHODS Retrospective study on preoperative data, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcome of patients who underwent MIDCAB surgery between June 2010 and February 2019. To assess validity of this surgical therapy, outcomes were compared with survival data of a gender- and age-matched cohort of the general Swiss population taken from the database of the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. RESULTS A total of 88 patients were included. Median (interquartile range [IQR[) age was 66 (56-75) years, and 27% (n = 24) were female. The median (IQR) length of the in-hospital stay was 7 (6-8) days. No postoperative stroke occurred. The 30-day mortality was 1.1% (n = 1). Reintervention for failed left internal mammary artery was needed in 1.1% (n = 1). The median (IQR) ejection fraction was 58% (47-60) preoperatively and remained stable during follow-up. The median (IQR) follow-up period was 3 (1.1-5.2) years. Five years postoperatively, 83% (confidence interval, 69-91) of the patients were alive, showing an overlap with the range of survival of the matched subcohort of the general Swiss population (range, 84-100%). CONCLUSION Though suffering from coronary heart disease, patients after MIDCAB show almost equal survival rates as an equivalent subcohort corresponding to the general Swiss population matched on age and gender. Thus, our data show this treatment to be safe and beneficial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery involving left anterior descending coronary artery grafting with the left internal thoracic artery through a left anterior small thoracotomy is being routinely performed in some specified centers for patients with isolated complex left anterior descending coronary artery disease, but very few reports regarding long-term outcomes exist in literature. Our study was aimed at assessing and analyzing the early and long-term outcomes of a large cohort of patients who underwent MIDCAB procedures and identifying the effects of changing trends in patient characteristics on early mortality. METHODS A total of 2667 patients, who underwent MIDCAB procedures between 1996 and 2018, were divided into 3 groups on the basis of the year of surgery: group A, 1996-2003 (n = 1333); group B, 2004-2010 (n = 627) and group C, 2011-2018 (n = 707). Groupwise characteristics and early postoperative outcomes were compared. Long-term survival for all patients was analyzed and predictors for late mortality were identified using Cox proportional hazards methods. RESULTS The mean age was 64.5 ± 10.9 years and 691 (25.9%) patients were female. Group C patients (log EuroSCORE I = 4.9 ± 6.9) were older with more cardiac risk factors and comorbidities than groups A (log EuroSCORE I = 3.1 ± 4.5) and B (log EuroSCORE I = 3.5 ± 4.7). Overall and groupwise in-hospital mortality was 0.9%, 1.0%, 0.6%, and 1.0% (P = .7), respectively. Overall 10-, 15-, and 20-year survival estimates for all patients were 77.7 ± 0.9%, 66.1 ± 1.2%, and 55.6 ± 1.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MIDCAB can be safely performed with very good early and long-term outcomes. In-hospital mortality remained constant over the 22-year period of the study despite worsening demographic profile of patients.

Abstract
Background The number of citations an article receives is a marker of its scientific influence within a particular specialty. This bibliometric analysis intended to recognise the top 100 cited articles in minimally-invasive cardiac surgery, to determine the fundamental subject areas that have borne considerable influence upon clinical practice and academic knowledge whilst also considering bibliometric scope. This is increasingly relevant in a continually advancing specialty and one where minimally-invasive cardiac procedures have the potential for huge benefits to patient outcomes.
Methods The Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) data citation index database was searched with the following terms: [Minimal* AND Invasive* AND Card* AND Surg*]. Results were limited to full text English language manuscripts and ranked by citation number. Further analysis of the top 100 cited articles was carried out according to subject, author, publication year, journal, institution and country of origin. Results A total of 4716 eligible manuscripts were retrieved. Of the top 100 papers, the median (range) citation number was 101 (51–414). The most cited paper by Lichtenstein et al. (Circulation 114(6):591–596, 2006) published in Circulation with 414 citations focused on transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation as a viable alternative to aortic valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass in selected patients with aortic stenosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery published the most papers and received the most citations (n = 35; 3036 citations). The United States of America had the most publications and citations (n = 52; 5303 citations), followed by Germany (n = 27; 2598 citations). Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, published the most papers of all institutions. Minimally-invasive cardiac surgery pertaining to valve surgery (n = 42) and coronary artery bypass surgery (n = 30) were the two most frequent topics by a large margin. Conclusions This work establishes a comprehensive and informative analysis of the most influential publications in minimally-invasive cardiac surgery and outlines what constitutes a citable article. Undertaking a quantitative evaluation of the top 100 papers aids in recognising the contributions of key authors and institutions as well as guiding future efforts in this field to continually improve the quality of care offered to complex cardiac patients.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive cardiac surgery coronary artery bypass grafting using an ultrasonically skeletonized internal thoracic artery in the authors’ initial experience. Methods From February 2012 to May 2021, 247 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting using an ultrasonically skeletonized internal thoracic artery were reviewed retrospectively. Internal thoracic arteries were harvested in a full skeletonized fashion using an ultrasonic scalpel via left minithoracotomy. Bilateral internal thoracic arteries were used in 108 patients, and the internal thoracic arteries as in situ grafts were used in 393 anastomoses. Total arterial revascularization was performed in 126 patients, and 142 patients underwent aortic nontouch minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting. Results The patients’ mean (range) age was 65.9 ± 11.5 (30-90) years. The mean (range) number of anastomoses performed was 2.6 ± 1.1 (1-6). Forty-six patients (18.6%) had 4 grafts, 94 patients (38.1%) had 3 grafts, and 60 patients (24.3%) had 2 grafts. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting was completed without conversion to sternotomy in all patients. Cardiopulmonary bypass was performed in 3 patients (1.2%), reinterventions due to bleeding were performed in 7 patients (2.8%), and chest wound infections were observed in 5 patients (2.0%). There was 1 (0.4%) mortality. Conclusions Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting using an ultrasonically skeletonized internal thoracic artery is feasible and has shown good perioperative outcomes. This approach has the potential for further optimization with revascularization strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) with the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) provides excellent long-term results for isolated left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) disease. We tried to evaluate the impact of the previous percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) for LAD on the clinical outcomes of MIDCAB in this study. METHODS A total of 197 patients with isolated LAD disease underwent MIDCAB in our center from February 2009 to May 2020. 51 patients had the p-PCI for LAD and 146 patients did not. The primary outcome was the major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). RESULTS The incidences of the perioperative outcomes were comparable between the two groups (p > .05). The median follow-up time was 48.0 months (interquartile range, 25.9-85.5 months). The incidences of MACE (p < .001) and myocardial infarction or recurrent angina (p < .001) were significantly higher in the p-PCI group than those in the non-PCI group. The estimated 5-year freedom from MACE in the p-PCI group was significantly lower (56.1%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 41.2%-71.0% vs. 83.4%, 95% CI: 76.7%-90.1%, p < .001). The previous LAD-PCI (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.664, 95% CI: 1.471-4.822, p = .001) and the history of peripheral arterial disease (HR: 3.145, 95% CI: 1.085-9.113, p = .035) were the independent predictors of MACE. The p-PCI group had a higher diseased graft rate than the non-PCI group (10.9% vs. 2.3%, p = .046). CONCLUSIONS The previous LAD-PCI may deteriorate the outcomes of MIDCAB in patients with isolated LAD disease.

Safe implementation of robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass: application of learning curves and cumulative sum analysis. J Thorac Dis 2021; 13:4260-4270.

Abstract
Background Learning curves are inevitably encountered when first implementing an innovative and complex surgical technique. Nevertheless, a cluster of failures or complications should be detected early, but not deter learning, to ensure safe implementation. Here, we aimed to examine the presence and impact of learning curves on outcome after robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB). Methods A retrospective analysis of the first 300 RA-MIDCAB surgeries between July 2015 and December 2020 was performed. Learning curves were obtained via logarithmic regression for surgical time. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was performed for (I) major complications including MI, stroke, repeat revascularization, and mortality, and (II) other complications, including prolonged ventilation, pneumonia, pleura puncture, lung herniation, pericarditis, pleuritis, arrhythmia, wound complications, and delirium. Expected and unacceptable rates were set at 12% and 20%, respectively, for major complications, and at 40% and 60% for other complications, based on historical data in conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Results Demographic characteristics did not differ between terciles, except for more smokers in the first tercile, and less hypercholesterolemia and more complex procedures in the third tercile. The mean surgical time for all operations was 258±81 minutes, ranging from 127 to 821 minutes. A learning curve was only observed in the first tercile. Subgroup analysis revealed that this learning curve was only observed for procedures consisting of single internal mammary artery (SIMA) with 1 or 2 distal anastomoses but not with bilateral internal mammary arteries (BIMA) or more than 2 distal anastomoses. CUSUM analysis showed that the cumulative rate of major and other complications never crossed the lines for unacceptable rates. Rather, the lower 95% confidence boundary was crossed after 50 cases, indicating improvement in safety. Conclusions These results suggest that integration of RA-MIDCAB in the surgical landscape can be safely achieved and complication rates can quickly be reduced below those expected in traditional CABG. Collective experience plays a key role in overcoming the learning curve when more complex procedures and cases are introduced.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was introduced in the 1960s as the first procedure for direct coronary artery revascularization and rapidly became one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide, with an overall total of more than 20 million operations performed. CABG continues to be the most common cardiac surgical procedure performed and has been one of the most carefully studied therapies. Best CABG techniques, optimal bypass conduits, and appropriate patient selection have been rigorously tested in landmark clinical trials, some of which have resolved controversy and most of which have stoked further debate and trials. The evolution of CABG cannot be properly portrayed without presenting it in the context of the parallel development of percutaneous coronary intervention. In this Historical Perspective, we a provide a broad overview of the history of coronary revascularization with a focus on the foundations, evolution, best evidence, and future directions of CABG.

Abstract
Minimally invasive coronary revascularisation was originally developed in the mid 1990s as minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) grafting is a less invasive approach compared to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to address targets in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Since then, MIDCAB has evolved with the adoption of a robotic platform and the possibility to perform multivessel bypass procedures. Minimally invasive coronary revascularisation surgery also allows for a combination between the benefits of CABG and percutaneous coronary interventions for non-LAD lesions – a hybrid approach. Hybrid coronary revascularisation results in fewer blood transfusions, shorter hospital stay, decreased ventilation times and patients return to work sooner when compared to conventional CABG. This article reviews the available literature, describes standard approaches and considers topics, such as limited access procedures, indications and patient selection, diagnostics and imaging, techniques, anastomotic devices, hybrid coronary revascularisation and outcome analysis.

Abstract
During the mid-1990s cardiac surgery started exploring minimally invasive methods for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and has over a 25-year period developed highly differentiated and less traumatic operations. Instead of the traditional sternotomy mini-incisions on the chest or ports are placed, surgery on the beating heart is applied, sophisticated remote access heart lung machine systems as well as videoscopic units are available, and robotic technology enables completely endoscopic approaches. This review describes these methods, reports on the cumulative intra- and postoperative outcome of these procedures, and gives an integrated view on what less invasive coronary bypass surgery can achieve. A total of 74 patient series published on the topic between 1996 and 2019 were reviewed. Six main versions of minimal access and robotically assisted CABG were applied in 11,135 patients. On average 1.3±0.6 grafts were placed and the operative time was 3 hours 42 min ± 1 hour 15 min. The procedures were carried out with a hospital mortality of 1.0% and a stroke rate of 0.6%. The revision rate for bleeding was 2.5% and a renal failure rate of 0.9% was noted. Wound infections occurred at a rate of 1.2% and postoperative hospital stay was 5.6±2.2 days. It can be concluded that less invasive and robotically assisted versions of coronary bypass grafting are carried out with an adequate safety level while surgical trauma is significantly reduced.

Abstract
Minimally invasive options for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery progressed dramatically in the last decades. Minimally invasive CABG surgery is presented trough these forms: minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), endoscopic atraumatic coronary artery bypass (EndoACAB), robot-assisted direct coronary artery bypass (RADCAB), total endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB), and hybrid coronary revascularisation (HCR). Unfortunately, these are still limited only to the specialised centres across the world and have not been accepted by the majority of cardiac surgeons. A surgeon who is starting to practice minimally invasive CABG surgery needs to be ready for long duration of the interventions, higher rate of conversions to sternotomy and significant learning curve. Excellent results that have been published on the subject of minimally invasive revascularisation methods support the potential of these alternative approaches to evolve in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) on the beating heart has been facilitated in our experience using distal coronary anastomotic connectors. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed graft patency in all robotic TECAB patients who underwent formal angiography at our current institution over a 5-year period. METHODS Between July 2013 and June 2018, 361 consecutive patients underwent robotic beating-heart TECAB. Of these patients, 121 had a follow-up angiogram, which assessed graft patency. Eighty-four patients had an angiogram as part of planned hybrid procedures and 37 patients underwent an unplanned angiogram for clinical indications. Retrospective analysis of angiographic patency and clinical outcomes was performed. RESULTS The mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality was 1.8%. Single-vessel bypass was performed in 40 (33%) patients and multivessel grafting in 81 (67%). Average flow (ml/min) and pulsatility index in the grafts was 74.7 ± 39.1 and 1.42 ± 0.52, respectively. The number of grafts evaluated was 204 (130 left internal mammary artery and 74 right internal mammary artery grafts). The median time to angiography was 1.0 and 16.0 months and graft patency was 98% and 91% in the hybrid and non-hybrid groups, respectively. Overall graft patency was 95.6% (left internal mammary artery = 96%; right internal mammary artery = 93%). Left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery graft patency was 97%. Clinical follow-up was available for 316 (88%) patients at mean 22.5 ± 15.1 months. Freedom from major adverse cardiac events at 2 years was 92%. CONCLUSIONS In this consecutive series of patients undergoing formal angiography after robotic single and multivessel TECAB, we found satisfactory graft patency and 2-year clinical outcomes. Longer-term follow-up is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to compare short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) via median sternotomy in patients with single-vessel left anterior descending (LAD) artery disease. METHODS In this retrospective study, 194-patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into the MIDCAB group (n = 111) and OPCAB via median sternotomy group (n = 83). Short-term outcomes included: in-hospital mortality, perioperative myocardial infarction (MI), perioperative cerebrovascular adverse events (CAEs), chest drainage, reoperation for bleeding, duration of surgery, ventilation time, deep wound infection, packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion and duration of hospital stay. The long-term outcomes included: all-cause mortality, the incidence of MI and stroke, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and composite of mortality/MI/stroke. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match patients between the groups. RESULTS Before as well as after the PSM, no significant differences were observed between both groups in terms of in-hospital mortality, incidence of perioperative MI, incidence of CAEs, reoperation for bleeding, pRBC transfusions, deep wound infection and ventilation time. However, MIDCAB group had lower chest tube drainage and shorter hospital stay. On the other hand, OPCAB group had shorter time of surgery before as well as after PS matching. At 7-years, before and after PSM, freedom from all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, TVR as well as composite of mortality/MI/stroke were comparable between both groups. CONCLUSIONS Short-term as well as long-term outcomes of MIDCAB in terms of mortality, MI, stroke, and target vessel revascularization are satisfactory and as safe and effective as OPCAB via sternotomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited multi-institutional data evaluating minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) outcomes have raised concern for increased resource utilization compared with standard sternotomy. The purpose of this study was to assess short-term outcomes and resource utilization with MICS CABG in a propensity-matched regional cohort. METHODS Isolated CABG patients (2012-2019) were extracted from a regional Society of Thoracic Surgeons database. Patients were stratified by MICS CABG vs open CABG via sternotomy, propensity-score matched 1:2 to balance baseline differences, and compared by univariate analysis. RESULTS Of 26,255 isolated coronary artery bypass graft patients, 139 MICS CABG and 278 open CABG patients were well balanced after matching. There was no difference in the operative mortality rate (2.2% open vs 0.7% MICS CABG, P = .383) or major morbidity (7.9% open vs 7.2% MICS CABG, P = .795). However, open CABG patients received more blood products (22.2% vs 12.2%, P = .013), and had longer intensive care unit (45 vs 30 hours, P = .049) as well as hospital lengths of stay (7 vs 6 days, P = .005). Finally, median hospital cost was significantly higher in the open CABG group ($35,011 vs $27,906, P < .001) compared with MICS CABG. CONCLUSIONS Open CABG via sternotomy and MICS CABG approaches are associated with similar, excellent perioperative outcomes. However, MICS CABG was associated with fewer transfusions, shorter length of stay, and ∼$7000 lower hospital cost, a superior resource utilization profile that improves patient care and lowers cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be performed through a variety of approaches. Minimally-invasive CABG (MICABG) may reduce perioperative morbidity. Previous results demonstrate improved perioperative outcomes; however, adoption has been limited. METHODS The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database and electronic medical record at a single institution were reviewed for isolated left internal mammary to left anterior descending artery (LIMA-LAD) bypass procedures performed between 2011 and 2018. Patients were grouped on the basis of operative approach, comparing sternotomy to non-sternotomy (minimally-invasive). Patient characteristics, perioperative variables, and short- and long-term outcomes were compared. Primary outcomes included mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Secondary outcomes were morbidity. RESULTS A total of 42 MICABG and 54 conventional LIMA-LAD procedures were performed with 95.2% of MICABG procedures performed by two surgeons. MICABG were more often elective (83.3 vs 38.9%, P < .001). STS risk scores predicted equitable mortality and morbidity for MICABG dependent on operative indication. MICABG was associated with fewer pulmonary complications (0.0 vs 11.1%, P = .033), in-hospital events (11.9 vs 37.0%, P = .005), and shorter intensive care unit (34.1 vs 66.0 hours, P = .022) and total length of stay (3.7 vs 6.5 days, P = .002). There were no observed strokes, myocardial infarctions, or reoperations. MICABG patients demonstrated reduced thirty-day mortality (0.0 vs 10.9%, P = .036) and improved Kaplan-Meier 5-year (95.2 vs 77.9%, P = .016) and MACE-free survival (89.2 vs 63.9%, P = .010). CONCLUSIONS Minimally-invasive LIMA-LAD CABG demonstrates improved early postoperative morbidity and a long-term mortality benefit. In select patients, minimally-invasive approaches to single-vessel grafting may be beneficial when performed by experienced surgeons in the elective setting.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
There are a number of minimally invasive approaches to revascularization of coronary artery disease that involve the left main or proximal left anterior descending artery; however, studies to date provide mixed results.
METHODS
A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare early and late postoperative outcomes between percutaneous coronary intervention with first- and second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs), off-pump coronary artery bypass and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) in patients with involvement of left main or left anterior descending disease.
RESULTS
A total of 37 studies with 31 728 patients were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in early mortality rates, strokes or myocardial infarctions (MIs). The long-term all-cause mortality rate was equivalent between the groups. Patients who had off-pump coronary artery bypass had fewer late MI compared with those who had first-generation DES (DES1) [odds ratio (OR) 0.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.20–0.72] and MIDCAB (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.17–0.97) and reduced late target vessel revascularization compared with DES1 (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.09–0.32) and second-generation DES (DES2) (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.14–0.72). The rate of late major adverse cardiac events was lower with off-pump coronary artery bypass compared with that with DES1 (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.26–0.43) and DES2 (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.45–0.90). The rate of late major adverse cardiac events with MIDCAB was lower than that with DES1 (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.31–0.62) as was that with DES2 compared with DES1 (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.39–0.70).
CONCLUSIONS
Surgical approaches to left main or proximal left anterior descending disease remain superior to first- or second-generation DES in terms of long-term freedom from MI and target vessel revascularization as well as improved overall long-term survival. Conflicting rates of late MI and target vessel revascularization in patients who underwent MIDCAB suggest disease in alternate vessels that may best be approached via hybrid techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To perform a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent endoscopic atraumatic coronary artery off-pump bypass grafting (EACAB) in a single center over a period of 11 years. METHODS Data was acquired from the hospital registry and patient medical records. In order to determine changes in clinical profile, patients were subdivided into three groups regarding year of surgery: 1998-2002 (group 1), 2003-2005 (group 2), 2006-2009 (group 3). In-hospital analysis up to 30 days and long-term observation were conducted. RESULTS The study cohort consisted of 714 patients (581 male). Procedural success accounted for 99% of all patients. No mortality was observed up to 30 days. Complications in the early period included pleural effusion (7.6%), cardiac arrhythmias (3.6%), bleeding related revision (2.7%) and wound infection (1.6%). Mean follow-up was 6 years (2132 ± 1313 days; median: 1918.5). Nineteen (2.7%) patients died, of which 52.6% (10 patients) were due to heart related conditions. Overall frequency of major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular events (MACCE) was 10.8% (77 patients). The Kaplan-Meyer analysis defined survival rate and event-free survival in long-term observation of 96.1% and 85.3%, respectively. Ejection fraction (EF) < 50% was the only independent factor of mortality (OR: 3.35). Regarding cumulative MACCE, older age (OR: 1.72), lower EF (OR: 3.03), the history of percutaneous coronary intervention (OR: 2.13) and higher New York Heart Association class (OR: 2.63) influenced the incidence rate. CONCLUSIONS The presented short and very long-term results confirm that EACAB is an efficient alternative for patients requiring revascularization of the left anterior descending artery. The elimination of cardiopulmonary bypass significantly reduces the number of complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical significance of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). METHODS Three hundred patients admitted to the Second Hospital of Shandong University from March 2006 to February 2010 were retrospectively analyzed and received off-pump operation under general anesthesia. Depending on surgical methods, patients were divided into the MIDCAB group (n = 90) and the median sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) group, named as the OPCAB group (n = 210). Preoperative clinical data, perioperative clinical data, and mid-term follow-up at 7 years after operation were analyzed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age and the number of vascular lesions in the OPCAB group were higher than those in the MIDCAB group, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the former was lower than that in the latter (p<0.05). The number of distal anastomotic stomas, operation time, blood transfusion volume, postoperative cardiac troponin I (cTnI) peak value, ventilator use time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay in the MIDCAB group were significantly lower than those in the traditional OPCAB group (p<0.05). Among the 294 recovered cases, 201 cases completed 7 years of continuous follow-up, with a follow-up rate of 67.91%. The LVEF and the patency rate of vessels in the MIDCAB group were higher than those in the OPCAB group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the median sternotomy OPCAB, MIDCAB is characterized by small incision, small trauma, positive efficacy, and safety; therefore, it is worthy of being promoted.

Abstract
Background In patients with advanced coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with improved long-term outcomes while percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower periprocedural complications. A new approach has emerged in the last decade that attempts to reap the benefits of bypass surgery and stenting while minimizing the shortcomings of each approach, hybrid myocardial revascularization (HMR).Three strategies for timing of the hybrid revascularization exists, each with their own inherent advantages and shortcomings: (1) CABG followed by PCI, (2) PCI followed by CABG, or (3) simultaneous CABG + PCI in a hybrid suite. Studies The results of the first randomized control trial comparing HMR (CABG first) and standard CABG, POL-MIDES (Prospective Randomized PilOt Study EvaLuating the Safety and Efficacy of Hybrid Revascularization in MultIvessel Coronary Artery DisEaSe), show HMR was feasible for 93.9% of patients whereas conversion to standard CABG was required for 6.1%. At 1 year, both groups had similar all-cause mortality (CABG 2.9% vs. HMR 2%) and major adverse clinical event (MACE)-free survival rates (CABG 92.2% vs. HMR 89.8%). Results of observational and comparative studies show that minimally invasive HMR procedures in patients with multivessel CAD carry minimal perioperative mortality risk and low morbidity and do not increase the risk of postoperative bleeding. The advantage they offer in comparison to classical surgical revascularization is indeed faster rehabilitation and patient's return to normal life. Conclusion Hybrid myocardial revascularization has been developed as a promising technique for the treatment of high-risk patients with CAD. Hybrid revascularization using minimally invasive surgical techniques combined with PCI offers to a part of patients an advantage of optimal revascularization of the most important artery of the heart, together with adequate myocardial revascularization in a relatively delicate way. Indeed, to patients with high operative risk of standard surgery, it offers an alternative which should be considered carefully.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting was shown to be feasible and safe, with excellent clinical and angiographic mid-term results. Data on long-term outcome are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the long-term rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events and left internal mammary artery patency rate in patients undergoing arrested heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS From 2001 to 2012, a total of 208 arrested heart-totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting patients were prospectively included. Mean ± SD age was 58.8 ± 9.4 years, and mean ± SD Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was 0.5 ± 0.5%. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, re-percutaneous coronary intervention, re-coronary artery bypass graft, and target vessel revascularization. Left internal mammary artery patency was assessed using cardiac computed tomography and depicted according to the established Fitzgibbon classification. Mean ± SD follow-up was 6.9 ± 2.3 years. RESULTS At 1, 5, and 10 years, survival rate was 100%, 98.3%, and 95.8%, respectively. The freedom from clinical events at 1, 5, and 10 years were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (93.5%, 85.9%, and 83.0%), myocardial infarction (99.0%, 97.4%, and 95.9%), target vessel revascularization (96.0%, 94.3%, and 91.7%), re-percutaneous coronary intervention (94.5%, 91.6%, and 84.2%), and re-coronary artery bypass graft (100%, 99.5%, and 99.5%), respectively. Left internal mammary artery patency rate at 1, 5, and 10 years was 100%, 94.9%, and 88.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Arrested heart-totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting shows excellent clinical long-term results with a left internal mammary artery patency rate comparable with conventional coronary artery bypass graft at 10 years after surgery.

Abstract
Background Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) grafting is regarded as an alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through full sternotomy, particularly for patients with isolated proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery stenosis deemed unsuitable for percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the technically demanding nature of the procedure and lack of long-term published outcomes have precluded its universal adoption. We report the comparative short-term outcomes and long-term survival of MIDCAB and conventional CABG through full sternotomy for grafting of isolated LAD. Methods From February 1996 to October 2017, a total of 668 patients underwent MIDCAB (n=508) and full sternotomy (n=160) CABG for isolated proximal LAD stenosis. Their data were prospectively entered into the institutional cardiac surgery database (Patients Analysis & Tracking System; Dendrite Clinical Systems, Ltd, Oxford, England, United Kingdom) and analyzed retrospectively. Information on patient deaths was obtained from the institutional database and the National General Register Office for all patients. Results The two groups were comparable with respect to preoperative demographics and risk profile. MIDCAB was associated with longer operative time (177±32 versus 141±12 min; P=0.003). The two groups did not significantly differ with regard to other complications including operative mortality. At a mean follow-up of 12.95±0.47 years, survival was also similar. Conclusions This large single centre study with longest follow-up validates the status of MIDCAB as an effective strategy for grafting of LAD. However, it fails to show superiority of the minimally invasive approach compared to conventional CABG through full sternotomy.

Abstract
We have developed off-pump coronary artery bypass approach with lower distal mini-sternotomy (TM-OPCAB) for multivessel coronary revascularization. The aim of this retrospective study is to provide evidence for the feasibility and safety of this technique in the treatment of triple-vessel diseases.Two hundred eighty-eight patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent TM-OPCAB or standard off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (S-OPCAB) were included in this study after propensity-score matching. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of all patients and compared their demographic data, intra- and perioperative details, as well as short-term and long-term outcomes.TM-OPCAB resulted in significantly shorter periods of time on ventilation (P = 0.0222), shorter postoperative in-hospital stays (P < 0.0001), and lower blood transfusion rates (P = 0.0013) than S-OPCAB. Transit-time flow measurement showed there was no significant difference in postoperative graft patency between both groups. Within the 30-day post-surgical period, no death or occurrence of stroke was observed in patients undergoing TM-OPCAB or S-OPCAB. After an average of 35 months of follow-up, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that overall survival and the percentage of patients freed from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were similar between both groups. Additionally, the rate of repeat revascularization was slightly lower in the TM-OPCAB group (1.4%) than in the S-OPCAB group (2.2%), although there was no statistical difference noted.Our findings suggest that TM-OPCAB is technically feasible and safe for use in revascularization procedures in patients with triple-vessel diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) via a small left thoracotomy is a novel technique for coronary revascularization that is increasingly used around the world. However, multivessel MICS CABG is difficult, and concerns about repeat revascularization (RR) have been raised. This longitudinal study describes the rates of RR among patients who have undergone MICS CABG and identifies targets for improvement. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed on the 306 MICS CABG patients operated on by a single surgeon from 2005 to 2015. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting was performed through a small left thoracotomy, using the in situ left internal mammary artery, ± a radial artery, and 1 to 3 saphenous veins anastomosed proximally to the aorta. Patients were followed annually. We examined the difference between the first half and second half of the series to ascertain the effects of a learning curve. RESULTS Eighty percent of the procedures were performed off-pump. The median number of grafts performed were 2, and the left anterior descending, diagonals, obtuse marginals, and posterior interventricular artery were the distal targets in 94%, 12%, 44%, and 26%, respectively. The graftability index (#grafts/#diseased vessels) was 0.93. Revascularization of targets smaller than 1.5 mm decreased from 69% to 50% (P = 0.002) between the series' first and second halves. Overall, RR was needed in 21 patients (6.9%) and was performed at a mean ± SD of 1.7 ± 1.6 years postoperatively. The culprit lesion was attributed to the index surgical procedure ("graft-associated") in 52%, to a stent stenosis or progression of native disease in 43%, and was unidentified in 5%. Patients with graft-associated RR had a lower graftability index at operation (0.73 vs 0.94) and more frequent involvement of the circumflex system (0.8 vs 0.3). The overall rate of RR at 3 years decreased from 11% in the first half to 2.6% in the second half (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The need for RR is part of the learning curve with MICS CABG, involves a graft in half of the cases, is more common in patients who had a lower graftability index at operation, and markedly improves with experience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) grafting through minithoracotomy are currently the two minimally invasive surgical techniques of left ventricular anterior wall revascularization. We aimed to compare both techniques in terms of perioperative and mid-term results. METHODS Arrested heart TECAB was carried out in 204 patients with a median (range) age of 60 (53-76) years and a median (range) EuroSCORE I of 2 (0-3). Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass was performed in 60 patients with a median (range) age of 66 (54-75) years and a median (range) EuroSCORE I of 2 (1-5). Both techniques were used for single or sequential internal mammary artery grafts to the anterior wall. Operative times, conversion rates, and surgical complications as well as mid-term results were compared between the groups after a median follow-up of 36 months. RESULTS No perioperative deaths were noted. Rates of myocardial infarction (TECAB: 1.5% vs MIDCAB: 0%, P = 0.463) and stroke (TECAB: 1.5% vs MIDCAB: 0%, P = 0.454) were not significantly different between the groups. Total operative times were longer in the TECAB compared with the MIDCAB group [292 (250-345) minutes in TECAB versus 201 (173-289) minutes in MIDCAB (P < 0.001)]. Intensive care unit stay and total length of stay were similar between the groups. There was no difference in mid-term survival (TECAB: 1.5% vs MIDCAB: 1.7%, P = 0.298) and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (TECAB: 12.4% vs MIDCAB: 5.1%, P = 0.358). CONCLUSIONS Robotically assisted arrested heart TECAB and robotic MIDCAB perform equally in terms of perioperative results and mid-term follow-up in this single-center patient cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease is nowadays responsible for approximately 15% of hospitalizations in Poland. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) represents an attractive alternative to a sternotomy, and at the same time provides better life quality and facilitates quick rehabilitation. AIM To evaluate whether MIDCAB can be performed with similar early and mid-term results as off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and therefore can be considered as a safe stage in hybrid revascularization. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 73 consecutive patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery) between 2013 and 2016 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantology, John Paul II Hospital, Krakow. Thirty-eight (52.1%) MIDCAB and 35 (47.9%) OPCAB patients were enrolled. RESULTS Short-term results did not significantly differ between groups and similar 30-day mortality was observed (MIDCAB 2.6% vs. OPCAB 2.9%, p = 1). The median follow-up period was 21 months. There were no statistical differences in terms of overall survival or cardiac mortality between groups (94.7% vs. 88.6%, p = 0.42; 2.6% vs. 2.9%, p = 1, respectively). The rate of hospitalization due to cardiac causes was similar in both groups (7.9% vs. 5.1%, p = 1) and there were no differences in current exacerbation of angina or heart failure, with median NYHA class I and CCS class I in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Despite higher technical difficulty, MIDCAB procedures can be performed with similar safety results as OPCAB procedures. No differences in terms of mortality, repeat revascularization or recurrent angina are observed.

[PMID: 29062450 PMCID: PMC5649490 DOI: 10.5114/wiitm.2017.67679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2017] [Accepted: 04/14/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Surgical treatment of isolated left anterior descending coronary artery disease can be performed with either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass via a left anterior thoracotomy (MIDCAB) or off-pump coronary artery bypass via a median sternotomy (OPCAB). Aim To compare the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing MIDCAB or OPCAB surgery. Material and methods Patients who underwent either MIDCAB or OPCAB for isolated left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery disease between October 2013 and December 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Operations were carried out by the same surgical team. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the patients were recorded for analyses. Results Twenty-three patients (7 females, 16 males) underwent MIDCAB surgery, and 24 patients (4 female, 20 males) underwent OPCAB surgery. The two groups were comparable regarding preoperative patient characteristics. Duration of mechanical ventilation (5.1 ±0.7 h vs. 6.6 ±0.9 h), intensive care unit stay (19.4 ±2.5 h vs. 45.8 ±5.4 h) and hospital stay (4.3 ±0.4 days vs. 5.6 ±0.8 days) were significantly shorter in the MIDCAB group (p < 0.01). Patients in the OPCAB group required significantly more blood transfusions (1.83 ±0.38 units vs. 0.17 ±0.38 units) and fresh frozen plasma use (2.33 ±0.96 units vs. 0.69 ±0.76 units) (p < 0.01). Conversion to sternotomy was not required in the MIDCAB group. There was no mortality, conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass or serious complication in either group. Conclusions We believe that the MIDCAB technique is more advantageous than the OPCAB technique in the treatment of patients with a critical LAD lesion.

Abstract
Concurrent lung cancer and coronary artery disease requiring treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting is not rare. An individualized perioperative anticoagulation regimen and minimal surgical trauma will benefit the patient’s postoperative recovery. We successfully treated a 68-year-old female patient with a lesion in the left anterior descending artery and metastatic right lung carcinoma by simultaneous minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting via a small left thoracotomy and thoracoscopic wedge resection of the lung lesion. She recovered and was discharged on the eighth postoperative day. The patient showed no symptoms of myocardial ischemia postoperatively. Computed tomography scan did not indicate metastatic lesion of lung carcinoma at 1-year follow-up. In conclusion, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting combined with thoracoscopic wedge resection is an effective minimally invasive treatment for concurrent lung cancer and coronary artery disease. This technique eliminates the risk of perioperative bleeding and provides satisfactory mid-term follow-up results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Demographic changes lead to a rising incidence of octogenarians undergoing surgical revascularization of coronary artery disease. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) represents a surgical treatment with reduced trauma and without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes after MIDCAB in octogenarians. METHODS Between 1998 and 2012, 1060 patients underwent MIDCAB at our department. Among them, 72 patients (6.8%) were older than 80 years at the time of operation. Incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) was compared between octogenarians [median age 82 (81; 85) years, 63.9% male] and younger MIDCAB patients [median age 64 (56; 70) years, 70.7% male] after 30 days and during follow-up. The impact of demographics and preoperative comorbidities on mortality during follow-up was analysed. RESULTS At baseline, the elderly group presented with a statistically significant higher logistic EuroSCORE I (9.2 vs 2.2%, P < 0.001). Within 30 days, octogenarians showed a mortality rate of 5.6% (younger patients 0.8%, P = 0.006) and an MACCE rate of 5.6% (younger patients 1.3%, P = 0.024). The median follow-up time of 30-day survivors was 5.5 (2.9; 7.6) years and follow-up completeness reached 96.9%. In the elderly group, 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 89, 78 and 63% in comparison with 97, 94 and 90% in the younger group (P < 0.001), respectively. The estimated median survival time in octogenarians was 6.7 (CI 4.854; 8.629) years. Logistic regression showed preoperative renal impairment, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and pulmonary hypertension to have a stronger impact on mortality during follow-up than age above 80 years. CONCLUSIONS MIDCAB represents a safe treatment option in octogenarians and is associated with a good perioperative outcome and satisfying long-term results in octogenarians.

Abstract
Objective Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) has been proposed as an attractive alternative to full sternotomy (FS) revascularization in isolated left anterior descending (LAD) artery disease not suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention. However, surgeons are still reluctant to perform MIDCAB owing to concerns about early and late outcomes. We aimed to compare short- and long-term outcomes after MIDCAB versus FS revascularization. Methods Prospectively collected data from institutional database were reviewed. Data for late mortality were obtained from the General Register Office. MIDCAB was performed in 318 patients, whereas 159 had FS, according to the surgeon's preference, among 477 patients with isolated LAD disease. Inverse propensity score weighting was used to estimate treatment effects on short- and long-term outcomes. Results In the propensity score-adjusted analysis, FS revascularization versus MIDCAB was associated increased rate of surgical site infection [4 (2.8%) versus 1 (0.7%); P = 0.04]. The 2 groups did not significantly differ with regard to other complications including operative mortality. Mean length of hospital stay was similar for the 2 groups. After a mean follow-up time of 6.2 years (interquartile range, 3.5–9.7 years), compared to MIDCAB, FS was not associated with an improved late survival (β coef, −1.42; standard error, 1.65; P = 0.39) or risk reduction for repeat revascularization (β coef, 1.22; standard error, 1.41; P = 0.15). Conclusions MIDCAB was associated with a trend toward better short-term outcomes and excellent long-term results comparable to FS revascularization. According to these findings, surgeons should not be reluctant to perform MIDCAB in isolated LAD disease.

Abstract
Objective Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) via left minithoracotomy is an alternative to off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) via sternotomy. Our objective was to evaluate the clinical outcomes after MICS CABG versus OPCAB. Methods The medical records of patients who underwent MICS CABG from December 2009 to December 2011 and OPCAB from January 2005 to April 2011 were reviewed. Patients who underwent OPCAB were matched 2:1 to patients who underwent MICS CABG by age, sex, preoperative ejection fraction, creatinine concentration, as well as history of diabetes and myocardial infarction. Results A total of 130 MICS CABG patients were matched with 260 OPCAB patients. Mean bypasses in the MICS CABG and OPCAB groups were 2.1 and 3.2, respectively ( P = 0.001). Extubation in the operating room (OR) occurred in 70.0% and 12.7% of patients in the MICS CABG and OPCAB groups, respectively ( P = 0.001). Mean postoperative length of stay was 4 days for the MICS CABG patients versus 5 days for the OPCAB patients ( P = 0.002) and 3.8 days versus 4.6 days for the MICS CABG patients extubated in the OR compared with those who remained intubated ( P = 0.007). There were no 30-day mortalities in the MICS CABG group and 1 in the OPCAB group (P= 0.999). Thirty-day readmissions were similar, with 5.4% and 7.4% in the MICS CABG and OPCAB groups, respectively ( P = 0.527). Conclusions Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting is safe, and early clinical outcomes are comparable, if not superior in some respects, to OPCAB. Extubation in the OR is feasible, well tolerated, and associated with earlier discharge. Shorter hospital stays may decrease resource use and promote earlier return to activities; however, further research is needed.

Abstract
Surgical treatment for angina pectoris was first proposed in 1899. Decades of experimental surgery for coronary artery disease finally led to the introduction of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1964. Now that we are approaching 50 years of CABG experience, it is appropriate to summarize the advancement of CABG into a procedure that is safe and efficient. This review provides a historical recapitulation of experimental surgery, the evolution of the surgical techniques and the utilization of CABG. Furthermore, data on contemporary clinical outcomes are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG) is a less invasive method of performing surgical revascularization. This technique coupled with use of off pump technique of surgical revascularization makes it truly less invasive. This method is highly effective even in high-risk patients. Results of this procedure are comparable to standard off pump technique and are better than percutaneous coronary intervention utilizing drug-eluting stent. We present an early and mid-term result of the use of this technique. METHOD We enrolled 33 patients for analysis operated between 2008 and 2012. Operation was performed utilizing off-pump technique of coronary artery bypass grafting through a minimal invasive incision. Left internal mammary artery graft was done for single vessel disease and radial artery was utilized for other grafts if required. Median follow up of 2.5 years (6 months-4 years) is available. RESULTS Median age was 58.5 years (41-77) and all were male. Single vessel disease was present in 7, double vessel in 14 and triple vessel disease in 12 patients. All the patients had normal left ventricular size and function. There was no operative and 30-day mortality. Conversion to median sternotomy to complete the operation was done in 6.6% (2 out of 33 patients). One patient had acute myocardial infarction and there were no deaths during follow up. CONCLUSION MICABG is a safe and effective method of revascularization in low risk candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
Nowadays, increasing numbers of procedures jointly conducted by cardiac surgeons and cardiologists are performed as minimally invasive surgical procedures or interventions. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair and a large variety of hybrid procedures for congenital heart disease have become current standards. Some of these hybrid procedures were shown to improve the therapeutic safety and efficacy, effects particularly true for high-risk patients and complex interventions. Hybrid procedures require indirect imaging, commonly provided by an angiography system in the hybrid operation theatre. This article describes the technical prerequisites required for a hybrid operation theatre as well as indications and rationales for hybrid procedures conducted in this environment. It is likely that the indications for cardiovascular hybrid procedures will continue to be expanded and that the hybrid operation theatre may become a laboratory for developing innovative approaches in the cardiovascular field. Therefore, the hybrid operation theatre will not only be the working environment for hybrid surgeons and interventionalists but also help to evolve their future.
