Samenvatting
Median sternotomy or combined multiple minimally invasive approaches are currently used to revascularize patients with multivessel coronary artery disease on the beating heart. We present here a new alternative approach for minimally invasive coronary surgery on the beating heart: the reversed-J inferior sternotomy. Through this approach, the left anterior descending, diagonal, and right coronary arteries can be revascularized via a single minimally invasive approach.
