We present a case of combined coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve (MV) repair using a robotic totally endoscopic right-sided approach. A 61-year-old man presented with fatigue due to significant mitral regurgitation and was found to have a tight stenosis in the mid left anterior descending artery. Using the da Vinci robotic system, the patient underwent a left internal mammary artery graft to the left anterior descending artery using the C-Port Flex A distal anastomotic device followed by a MV repair. Both procedures were performed endoscopically via right chest ports and right femorofemoral bypass successfully. The patient was discharged from the hospital 3 days postoperatively and returned to normal activity within 3 weeks after surgery. This case study shows the feasibility of using an endoscopic robotic approach in selected patients undergoing combined MV coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

A 55-year-old man developed severe mitral regurgitation with persistent fungal infective endocarditis 8 months after coronary artery bypass grafting with a left internal mammary artery and 2 saphenous veins, as well as mitral valve repair with a prosthetic ring. Echocardiography demonstrated severe mitral regurgitation and a valvular vegetation. Computed tomography coronary arteriography indicated that all grafts were patent and located intimately close to the sternum. Median resternotomy was not attempted due to the risk of injury to the bypass grafts, and therefore, a right anterolateral thoracotomy approach was utilized. Mitral valve replacement was performed with the patient under deep hypothermia and ventricular fibrillation without aortic cross-clamping. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful. Thus, right anterolateral thoracotomy may be a superior approach to mitral valve surgery in patients who have undergone prior coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background and Aim: We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent mitral regurgitation in two surgical treatment groups: isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and CABG combined with mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Methods: A single-centre, prospective, randomised study, which included 76 patients with ICM and moderate mitral regurgitation (MR). Study included two groups: isolated CABG and CABG with MV repair (MVR). Isolated annuloplasty was used to correct mitral insufficiency in the CABG + MVR group. Results: Isolated CABG or CABG combined with MVR in patients with ICM does not lead to a statistically significant decreasing of MR in the long-term period compared to baseline values. However, in one year after surgery, the degree of MR after combined surgery is lower than the initial values. The identification of predictors of the progression of IMR in ICM made it possible to determine the threshold values for the effectiveness of MVR, and the assessment of echocardiographic predictors for annuloplasty helps to choose the right surgical tactic of patients. Conclusions: Coronary revascularization with surgical of IMR in patients with ICM does not increase the number of complications in the early postoperative period compared to the group of isolated CABG. In patients with ICM and moderate MR after isolated CABG, the progression of MR (MR of the 3rd degree, initially 0%, after 12 months 31%, after 36 months 71%; p <0.001) was observed even with an initially moderate expansion of the fibrous ring of the MV.
