Summary: This study presents our clinical experience and techniques of minimally invasive coronary bypass through minithoracotomy, which can be safely reproduced for patients with multivessel isolated coronary artery disease. More long-term results and multicenter studies are needed for widespread acceptance of this technique.

Summary: The study aimed to describe the safety and clinical benefits of minimally invasive, nonsternotomy coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG) using data from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database. The results showed that MICABG was associated with lower mortality, perioperative morbidity, and shorter recovery time compared to conventional CABG. This suggests that MICABG may have potential advantages in treating single-vessel disease.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (MICS) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The results showed no significant differences in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, cardiac death, heart failure, stroke, or repeated revascularization between the two treatment groups.

Summary: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a viable alternative to traditional sternotomy CABG, especially for patients in need of coronary revascularization. By using robotic assistance and avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass, this technique is particularly beneficial for female patients.

Summary: This article presents a case of STA-MCA bypass surgery performed on a patient with refractory right MCA transient ischemic attack and a minor stroke. The patient was perfusion dependent. The frontal and parietal branches of the STA were used to revascularize the affected territories. The surgery was done through a small single incision and craniotomy.

Summary: This study evaluated whether interhospital variation in mortality rates for coronary artery bypass grafting was driven by complications and failure to rescue. The study found a positive correlation between hospital failure to rescue rates and complications, suggesting that early recognition and management of complications are important factors in improving the success of coronary artery bypass grafting.

Summary: This study assessed the early and long-term outcomes of a large cohort of patients who underwent MIDCAB procedures and found that the surgery can be safely performed with very good outcomes. Despite worsening demographic profile of patients, the in-hospital mortality remained constant over the 22-year period.

Summary: The study found that graft occlusion during the 5 years after coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis, particularly when the stenosis degree was not severe.

Summary: Telesurgical robotics has achieved global clinical adoption as the first domain within medicosurgical robotics. However, its market penetration is still relatively low. The adoption of telesurgical robotics has not reached its full potential due to technical complexity and financial burden. Emerging telesurgical technologies, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, offer significant advantages in clinical practice.
