Key result
Minimally invasive multivessel CABG via left anterior thoracotomy achieves complete revascularization with 0% mortality.
Why the study?
To develop a reproducible minimally invasive CABG technique that is as safe and effective as conventional coronary grafting for every patient with isolated CAD.

Is minimally invasive multivessel coronary grafting through a left anterior thoracotomy safe and effective for complete revascularization in patients with isolated coronary artery disease?
Minimally invasive multivessel coronary bypass grafting via left anterior thoracotomy is a feasible and safe approach that allows for complete revascularization with excellent short-term outcomes.
Babliak et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Isolated coronary artery disease (n=220). Minimally invasive multivessel coronary grafting through a left anterior thoracotomy was evaluated on Mortality. Minimally invasive multivessel coronary grafting through a left anterior thoracotomy achieved complete revascularization in 220 patients with isolated coronary artery disease and 0% mortality.
