Long-term follow-up after minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting procedure: a multi-factorial retrospective analysis at 1000 patient–years
Key result
Minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting demonstrated a late postoperative graft patency rate of 93.6% and an overall long-term mortality of 5.8%.

Kofidis et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=390). Minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCABG) was evaluated on Late postoperative graft patency (>30 days). Minimal invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting demonstrated a late postoperative graft patency rate of 93.6% and an overall long-term mortality of 5.8%.
