Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting offers mortality and morbidity advantages to selected patients. To broaden indications for such, an appropriate and combined disciplinary approach using angioplasty and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting is described in a patient requiring reoperative grafting. Documentation of patency of new left internal mammary artery-to-left anterior descending artery anastomoses performed without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass was obtained intraoperatively using a Thermal Imaging Camera.
