Abstract
The da Vinci robotic system was found to be safe and feasible for BITA harvesting in multivessel CABG through small lateral thoracotomy. Further follow-up for graft patency is necessary. Postoperative pain may be reduced with aggressive management strategies. The approach offers fast recovery. This sternum-sparing approach may be an evolutionary step toward closed-chest coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
