Abstract

Recently, Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass(MIDCAB) procedure eliminating cardiopulmonary bypass becomes one of the rapidly developing strategies in cardiac surgery. Here, we report a case of minimally invasive axillocoronary bypass as coronary reoperative procedure in which the previous LAD graft was occluded and the left internal mammary flow was deemed inadequate. The methodology is described with review of the relevant literature.
