Complete thoracoscopic retrieval of the left internal mammary artery using ultrasonic scalpel in High-Risk surgical patients: a case series
The study suggests that the complete thoracoscopic ultrasonic scalpel-assisted LIMA harvesting in high-risk surgical patients undergoing minimally invasive single-vessel CABG surgery has the potential to be a feasible and safe approach. Further research and larger studies are warranted to confirm these preliminary results.
