Abstract
Robotic-enhanced LIMA takedown is a prerequisite for totally endoscopic CABG. After passing through a significant learning curve, IMA takedown can be performed safely and within an acceptable time frame. Demography and chest size do not seem to influence IMA harvesting time. The rate of LIMA injuries is within the limits of conventional thoracoscopic harvesting.
