<p><strong>Aim</strong>. To report the first clinical case of the hybrid procedure combining off-pump minimally invasive multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the obtuse marginal (OM) artery to achieve complete myocardial revascularisation.</p><p><strong>Clinical case</strong>. Bilateral in situ skeletonised left internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting to the left anterior descending artery was performed, and a Y-shape anastomosis was created from the left IMA-right IMA to the circumflex branch. At 2 hours postoperatively, graft failure caused by subtotal stenosis at the graft was diagnosed. Reconstruction of the anastomosis improved the transit time flow measurement by 3.5 hours postoperatively. Acute myocardial infarction did not develop. On postoperative day 1, graft patency was assessed, and then the OM stent was placed. On postoperative day 8, the patient was discharged and referred to the outpatient centre for further treatment and rehabilitation. Hybrid revascularisation offers the advantages of both CABG and PCI; however, the technical complexity is a major limitation for its widespread use. This case reports the development of adverse events during the surgeon's training to perform this nonstandard technology. Timely diagnosis of the initial graft failure and surgical revision led to a successful and complication-free outcome and avoided prolonged patient rehabilitation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>. Hybrid revascularisation combining MICS-CABG and PCI with new-generation drug-eluting stents can be a worthwhile alternative to conventional multivessel CABG with minimal invasiveness and complete revascularisation.</p><p>Received 5 June 2020.

<strong>Background</strong>: Minimally invasive bypass grafting surgery has entered the clincal routine in several centers around the world, with an increasing popularity in the last decade. In our study, we aimed to make a comparison between minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and conventional bypass grafting surgery in isolated proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions. <br /><strong>Methods</strong>: Between January 2004 and December 2011, patients with proximal LAD lesions, who were treated with robotically assisted minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery and conventional bypass surgery, were included in the study. In Group 1, coronary bypass with cardiopulmonary bypass and complete sternotomy were applied to 35 patients and in Group 2, robotically assisted minimally invasive bypass surgery was applied to 35 patients. The demographic, preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected retrospectively.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: The mean follow-up time of the conventional bypass group was 5.7 ± 1.7 years, whereas this ratio was 7.3 ±1.3 in the robotic group. There was no postoperative transient ischemic attack (TIA), wound infection, mortality, or need for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in any of the patients. In the conventional bypass group, blood transfusion and ventilation time were significantly higher (P &lt; .05) than in the robotic group. The intensive care unit (ICU) stay and hospital stay were remarkably shorter in the robotic group <br />(P &lt; .01). The postoperative pneumonia rate was significantly higher (20%) in the conventional bypass group <br />(P &lt; .01). Postoperative day 1 pain score was higher in the robotic group (P &lt; .05), however, postoperative day 3 pain score in the conventional bypass group was higher (P &lt; .05). Graft patency rate was 88.6% in the conventional bypass group whereas this ratio was 91.4% in the robotic bypass group, which was not clinically significant (P &gt; .05).<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: In isolated proximal LAD stenosis, robotic assisted minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery requires less blood products, is associated with shorter ICU and hospital stay, and lesser pain in the early postoperative period in contrast to conventional surgery. The result of our studies, which showed similarities to the past studies, lead us to recognize the importance of minimally invasive interventions and the need to perform them more frequently in the future.

Abstract Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) is associated with the best long-term survival. However, using BITA increases the risk of sternal wound infections with conventional sternotomy. We describe here our initial results of minimally invasive CABG (MICS-CABG) using BITA. Methods Patients were operated through an incision similar to that of standard minimally invasive direct CABG. All operations were performed off-pump. We evaluated patient's quality of life (QoL) using the Medical Outcomes trust, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results Between February 2016 and August 2017, we performed 21 cases of MICS-CABG using BITA. There was no intraoperative complication and no conversion to sternotomy or to on-pump. Two patients required reexploration through the same minithoracotomy for postoperative bleeding. Two cases of early postoperative graft failure were identified. There was no stroke or in-hospital mortality. The median duration of follow-up was 13 months, with a maximum of 19 months. Relief of angina was achieved in all patients. There was one readmission for superficial wound infection, which was conservatively treated. An 84-year-old man died 4 months after the operation. The remaining 20 patients attested good QoL with the SF-36 questionnaire. Conclusions Myocardial revascularization using BITA can be safely achieved off-pump through a left-sided minithoracotomy with good postoperative and short-term outcomes.
