Key result
Video tutorial demonstrates minimally invasive multivessel CABG via left anterior thoracotomy for total revascularization.
Why the study?
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting is effective, reproducible, and safe and can be applied in most patients with isolated coronary artery disease, but practical aspects of total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy need presentation.
This video tutorial presents a technique for minimally invasive multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting via a left anterior thoracotomy.

Babliak et al. (2020) studied isolated coronary artery disease. Minimally invasive multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting via left anterior thoracotomy vs. conventional coronary grafting technique was evaluated. A video tutorial presents a technique for minimally invasive multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting with total coronary revascularization via a left anterior thoracotomy.
