Abstract
The clinical outcome and angiographic patency of grafting the LAD with the LIMA off pump through a non-rib-spreading incision compares favorably with the reported data of arrested heart grafting through a median sternotomy. The endoACAB offers an excellent alternative for patients with LAD disease as a stand-alone procedure, a multivessel grafting procedure in selected patients, or as part of a hybrid procedure in conjunction with a percutaneous intervention.
