Robotic Totally Endoscopic Coronary Bypass using a Third-Generation Robot with the EndoWrist Stabilizer: Insights from 1,000 Consecutive Cases.
OBJECTIVE In robotic-assisted coronary surgery, few programs use the robot to execute the complete procedure (totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass [TECAB]). We report lessons learned from >1,000 consecutive TECAB cases at our institution. METHODS Retrospective review of 1,035 patients undergoing robotic beating-...
