Mishra et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=268). Robotically enhanced coronary artery bypass surgery was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Robotically enhanced coronary artery bypass surgery was feasible and safe, resulting in only one in-hospital mortality among 268 patients and 100% anastomotic patency in 13 of 14 totally endoscopic cases at 3 months.
