To reduce surgical trauma and median sternotomy related complications in cardiac surgery, a new minimally invasive surgical technique has been developed for the treatment of coronary artery multivessel disease using a small left lateral chest incision in the 3rd intercostal space. This technique enables direct LIMA harvesting and performance of bypass surgery upon all coronary vessels with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest. So far, 123 patients have been treated with this procedure and survived with fewer complications, and we believe that routine application of this procedure will lead to reduced morbidity in patients receiving coronary artery bypass surgery, short hospital stay and early convalescence, combined with good cosmetic results.
