N2 - In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting the successful case of a morbidly obese male (body mass index = 58 kg/m2) who presented to our center with severe coronary disease. A 54-year-old morbidly obese male presented with acute chest pain and was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The culprit lesion was the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. A percutaneous coronary intervention angiography attempted in a university hospital was not successful. Our heart team chose a hybrid robot-assisted revascularization (HCR) strategy based on the patient’s body size. The patient underwent left internal thoracic mammary artery to LAD bypass with uneventful postoperative recovery. Robotic HCR is a valuable strategy in morbidly obese patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
