Long-Term Angiographic Follow-Up of Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Revascularization
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been shown in short-term studies to increase patient satisfaction and to reduce surgical morbidity and recovery times. However, the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted CABG is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafts.
METHODS: The study cohort included all patients who …
