Multivessel arterial revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy

To present the technique and to evaluate the outcomes of the multivessel minimally invasive coronary revascularization through the left anterior thoracotomy. From July 2017 to March 2019 in 229 consecutive patients with isolated multivessel coronary artery disease we performed complete coronary revascularization through the left anterior minithoracotomy (6-8 cm skin incision). In 47 of them we performed multiarterial revascularization using left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and T-shunt with left radial artery or right internal mammary artery (RIMA).
