Keywords: Coronary revascularization, ischemic heart disease, robotic surgery
Robotic surgery has evolved worldwide after 2000s. In cardiac surgery, totally endoscopic robotic endoscopic surgery has been frequently performed in mitral/tricuspid valve pathologies, atrial septal defects, coronary revascularization, and intracardiac tumors. In this review, we discuss robotic approach to coronary revascularization and surgical technique in patients with ischemic heart disease in the light of literature data.
