Popis: ONVENTIONAL coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, although relatively safe, continues to suffer from a significant incidence of serious complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, aortic injury, respiratory failure, nerve injury, and coagulation abnormalities. ~.2 Some of these are directly associated with establishing cardlopulmonary bypass (CPB), including sternotomy, sternal retraction, systemac heparinization, cannulat~on, and aomc cross-clamping. Maintenance of CPB reduces a systemic inflammatory response with coagulation abnormalities, hemodllutlon, and potential risk of air- and microembolization. Consequently, techniques to perform coronary artery bypass surgery without CPB have been developed. 3,4 This report describes experiences with one such technique, minimally invaslve direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). Two representative cases are described.
