Is robotic beating heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass feasible for BMI > 35 morbidly obese patients?

Morbidly obese patients had an increased incidence of prolonged ventilation after BH-TECAB, but an otherwise reasonably low morbidity and mortality similar to patients with a lower BMI. We believe that adoption of robotics technology allows for BH-TECAB and can lead to improved outcomes in this high-risk population.
