Abstract

Three patients with isolated disease of the left anterior descending coronary received a minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass operation. All were discharged from the hospital in 2 days and are doing well. This is an exciting new procedure which combines the long-term benefits of bypass using the mammary artery with a shortened hospital stay and a rapid postoperative recovery.
