Abstract
A 58-year-old man with left main and right coronary artery disease requiring preoperative intraaortic balloon pumping underwent successful minimally invasive triple coronary bypass through bilateral parasternal incisions. Despite taking immunosuppressive drugs because of a previous liver transplantation, the patient had all-arterial grafts without sternotomy. He was discharged on the fourth postoperative day, returned to work in 4 weeks, and has a negative thallium stress test.
