Abstract

Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting for the left anterior descending artery is a well-established technique; however, harvesting the internal thoracic artery is challenging, particularly with endoscopic approaches. In this study, 12 patients underwent internal thoracic artery harvesting using a three-dimensional endoscope with a three-port system (one incision plus two ports). Working space was established by elevating the chest wall upward using hooks anchored at the main incision site. To enhance operability, the positions of the camera and instruments were strategically adjusted within the existing ports, obviating the need for additional access points. All patients achieved graft patency. No complications, such as internal thoracic artery injury, were observed, and no patient required conversion into median sternotomy. This approach minimizes invasiveness while maintaining effectiveness, allowing for adequate dissection of the internal thoracic artery without necessitating expansion of the existing surgical setup.
