Abstract

Abstract: Isolated coronary artery bypass grafting associated with atrial fibrillation is routinely performed through a sternotomy, and cardiac arrest. Advancements in this surgical approach have led to better cosmesis, a quick postoperative recovery, with the same postoperative results. We report a case of a novel, less invasive hybrid treatment combining robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous radiofrequency catheter ablation.
