Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the current era, the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease has undergone significant advancements. Minimally invasive coronary surgery has revolutionized the field of coronary bypass grafting and gains a more prominent role in everyday practice. Despite being introduced in the 1990s, recent technological developments have led to an increased adaptation of minimally invasive coronary surgery, making these procedures more accessible and reproducible.

For the Special Issue “New Advances in Minimally Invasive Coronary Surgery”, we invite you to contribute a research paper or review article addressing any aspect of this topic, including all minimally invasive approaches. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of existing techniques and future directions of coronary surgery.

Dr. Ferdi Akca
