The introduction of a robot-assisted microsurgical system has made endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) possible. Despite the success of this approach, surgeons still require better visualization tools for pre-surgical planning and intra-operative image guidance. Such visualization tools could, for example, assist in the placement of thoracic ports to acquire optimum access to the target vessels. In this paper we discuss the essential steps toward image-guided completely endoscopic coronary bypass surgery with robot assistance, and we present our preliminary efforts toward the development of a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual cardiac surgical planning platform (VCSP) for ECABG.
