Totally endoscopic off-pump bilateral internal thoracic artery bypass grafting

Abstract

The introduction of robotic assistance has enabled totally endoscopic closed chest procedures, most often by left internal thoracic artery to left (LITA) anterior descending. Endoscopic stabilizers have made off-pump surgery feasible. We report the first case of a totally endoscopic off-pump bilateral ITA grafting in a 58-year-old patient.
