Abstrakt:	Objective: Myocardial bridging (MB) occurs when a coronary artery, commonly the left anterior descending (LAD), has an intramyocardial course. In symptomatic patients who fail medical therapy, surgical unroofing can provide symptomatic relief by improving coronary blood flow. We present a series of patients undergoing robotic totally endoscopic beating-heart MB unroofing. Methods: There were 34 patients with an LAD-MB who failed medical therapy and underwent robotic totally endoscopic, off-pump unroofing between January 2017 and October 2023. Patients were evaluated by a multidisciplinary team and underwent provocative coronary angiography to confirm hemodynamic significance. We reviewed perioperative outcomes and contacted patients for midterm follow-up, including completion of a modified Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Results: The mean age was 48 ± 8 years, and 56% were female patients. One patient had prior septal myectomy via sternotomy. All patients had significant dobutamine Pd/Pa reduction on preoperative coronary angiography. One patient had atrial fibrillation and underwent concomitant ablation with left atrial appendage ligation. The mean procedure time was 140 ± 69 min. All were completed totally endoscopically off-pump without intraoperative conversions. The mean MB length was 4.5 ± 1.4 cm, and the mean depth was 1.6 ± 0.9 cm. Of the patients, 76% were extubated in the operating room. The mean intensive care unit and hospital length of stay were 0.97 ± 0.58 and 1.73 ± 1.1 days, respectively. There were no mortalities or strokes. There was 1 postoperative take-back for bleeding. At midterm follow-up (19 ± 14 months), 28 patients completed the SAQ; 86% reported "much less angina" during activity compared with before surgery, and 93% reported taking no antianginal medication since surgery. Conclusions: In appropriate patients with hemodynamically significant LAD-MB who fail medical therapy, robotic beating-heart unroofing is possible with good outcomes. Further studies are warranted.
