[Clinical experience in thoracoscopic left internal mammary artery harvesting with voice activated robotic assistance].
Abstract
Between September 1998 to February 2000, 45 consecutive patients underwent robotic-assisted, video-enhanced coronary artery bypass grafting. All IMA's were harvested using the voice-activated robotic assistant (AESOP 3000, Computer Motion Inc, Santa Barbara, CA) and the Harmonic scalpel (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, OH).
