DESCRIPTION:Minimally invasive options for coronary artery bypass grafting
  (CABG) have existed now for some time. Importantly\, these interventions 
 centre on not only the approach to accessing the heart itself\, but also t
 o the harvest of a patient’s own artery and vein for use as bypass condu
 its. Minimally invasive saphenous vein harvest is currently well establish
 ed and the standard of care in many centres worldwide\, whereas minimally 
 invasive radial artery harvest is much less supported. Minimally invasive 
 cardiac access and internal thoracic artery harvest\, though supported by 
 evidence\, are currently only available at a small number of highly specia
 lised centres. The objective of this talk is to examine current evidence i
 n favour of minimally invasive radial artery harvest\, and to provide an o
 verview of the future of minimally invasive CABG including hybrid revascul
 arization and surgical robotics.
