Robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) offers several advantages over conventional sternotomy coronary artery bypass grafting. TECAB allows the increased use of bilateral internal mammary artery grafts independent of gender, body mass index or diabetes, minimizes the risk of wound infection, decreases the length of hospital stay, and improves the postoperative quality of life. Off-pump beating heart TECAB has been used to offer one or two grafts generally on the anterior wall. We describe our approach to perform beating heart, triple-vessel TECAB with targets on the lateral and posterolateral wall of the left ventricle.
