Provides an editorial perspective and review on the current underutilization and future potential of robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting.
Feature Editor's Introduction—Robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting represents the most advanced form of coronary surgery. After initial enthusiasm, the technique has not been largely adopted by the surgical community and it is currently performed by only a few technical masters. Dr Husam Balkhy presents a superb review of the technique and an important perspective on its possible future. I'm sure readers will enjoy reading it as much as I did.
