Robotic minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass for Kawasaki disease

Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2020 Sep;68(9):1037-1039. doi: 10.1007/s11748-019-01215-2. Epub 2019 Sep 25.

Abstract

Case 1: 17-year-old boy developed severe stenosis at the proximal site of the coronary aneurysm in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Case 2: 16-year-old boy developed severe stenosis at the proximal site of the coronary aneurysm in the LAD. Case 3: 30-year-old woman developed severe stenosis of the distal portion of the coronary aneurysm in the LAD. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) with robot-assisted left internal thoracic artery harvest was successfully performed without cardiopulmonary bypass in these three young patients with Kawasaki disease. This is the first case report of robot-assisted MIDCAB for Kawasaki disease.

Keywords: Kawasaki disease; Off-pump CABG; Robotic-MIDCAB.
