Hybrid revascularization provides minimally invasive options for high-risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. We used a hybrid approach in two patients. The surgical revascularization with the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) on the left descending coronary artery was performed through an inferior j-shaped mini-sternotomy keeping the patients awake with high-epidural thoracic anesthesia. At the end of the operations the patients were moved to the angiography laboratory to complete the revascularization with angioplasty. No complications were reported.

Abstract
Hybrid revascularization provides minimally invasive options for high-risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. We used a hybrid approach in two patients. The surgical revascularization with the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) on the left descending coronary artery was performed through an inferior j-shaped mini-sternotomy keeping the patients awake with high-epidural thoracic anesthesia. At the end of the operations the patients were moved to the angiography laboratory to complete the revascularization with angioplasty. No complications were reported.File in questo prodotto:
