  • Abstract
    The number of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting procedures without cardiopulmonary bypass is steadily increasing. We report on a new, minimally invasive surgical approach for off-pump coronary revascularization in multivessel disease. A distal sternotomy is performed to gain access to the left and right internal thoracic arteries and to reach the left anterior descending coronary artery, diagonal branches, and right coronary artery for off-pump revascularization.
