Population
A 53-year-old female patient with isolated left main coronary artery stenosis who underwent completely endoscopic double coronary artery bypass grafting.
I
Intervention
Completely endoscopic double coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on the arrested heart using daVinci telemanipulation system and Octopus-TE stabilizing device

Outcome
Successful exposure and grafting of the circumflex coronary artery system
The Octopus-TE stabilizing device provides a feasible method for exposing the circumflex coronary artery system during totally endoscopic CABG.
Cite This Study
Bonatti et al. (2006) conducted a case report in isolated left main coronary artery stenosis (n=1). completely endoscopic double coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated. A completely endoscopic double coronary artery bypass grafting procedure using the daVinci system and Octopus-TE stabilizing device was successfully performed in a 53-year-old female.
