Redefining coronary revascularization: The emergence of totally endoscopic robotic bypass surgery
Abstract Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) is regarded as the most advanced minimally invasive surgical coronary revascularization approach. The objective of this review is to discuss the current evidence on the feasibility, safety, clinical outcomes, and implementation challenges of TECAB, and to investigate whether TECAB can be considered a reproducible and effective alternative to traditional and other minimally invasive approaches for coronary artery bypass. A narrative review was conducted of s …
