MINI-OPCABG an option in Hybrid coronary revascularization
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) combines minimally invasive left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending bypass with percutaneous coronary intervention of non-left anterior descending vessels. And it is feasible and appeared to be safe, with faster recovery and similar outcomes when compared with conventional CABG [1-4]. Also Hybrid coronary revascularization is a viable option to perform a minimally invasive, functionally complete revascularization in high-risk patients instead of conventional revascularization [5], robotic-assisted LITA harvesting and a small left anterior thoracotomy survival, freedom from angina and freedom from revascularization also appear favorable at the 5-year clinical follow-up [6]. Closed chest hybrid revascularization is another although more complex option [7].
