Abstract
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. One advancement in the treatment of this disease is the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure, which is an alternative to the traditional open heart bypass procedure. The MIDCAB procedure is becoming a viable alternative to the traditional coronary artery bypass grafting procedure for a select group of patients. With further experience and follow-up, this procedure will offer lower hospital costs by decreasing lengths of stay and offering patients the optimal conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting without the complications of cardiopulmonary bypass.
