How To Do It

Mini-Sternotomy for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Kit V. Arom, MD, PhD, Robert W. Emery, MD, Demetre M. Nicoloff, MD, PhD

Minneapolis Heart Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Accepted for publication November 8, 1995.

This communication details the approach to the left anterior descending artery, right coronary artery, or both via a single limited incision of the chest. The mini-sternotomy incision is 10 to 12 cm long. The distal anastomosis can be accomplished, with a beating heart, through this small incision, with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.
