This presentation was originally given during the SCTS Ionescu University program at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland.

    In my opinion we need to make efforts to be competitive to learn and reproduce this type of operation by MINI OPCAB or MIDCAB or others minimally invasive options
