Abstract

The cardiac surgery community increasingly recognizes coronary surgery as a subspecialty requiring advanced technical skills and training. Every aspect of coronary artery bypass grafting has evolved to bring important benefits to patients and also greater complexity in operative technique. To harness the benefits of advanced coronary surgery and avoid associated pitfalls, mastery of the technical nuances must be achieved. This document provides a step-by-step primer on the techniques for routinely performing safe and reliable all-arterial no-aortic-touch off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, summarizing lessons learned during a decade of evolution in a focused coronary surgical program.
