Abstract
Conclusions. The heart stabilizer and new techniques for coronary revascularization with a beating heart have improved the anastomotic quality of grafts. The hybrid procedures were effective in selected patients but were considered contraindicated in patients with left main trunk lesion. OPCAB was safe, effective, and suitable especially in patients with high risks for coronary artery bypass grafting.
