“…A long-term clinical review and angiographic follow-up of nine patients, by Arima and colleagues, has proved that CABG with LITA graft is safe and effective in treating IOS of the left coronary artery (3). Besides, saphenous vein patch angioplasty was also reported with acceptable long-term outcomes (4). However, these operations should be performed through full sternotomy.…”

“…Prompt surgical revascularization is recommended to optimize myocardial salvage, which include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (3) and saphenous vein patch angioplasty (4). With the advancement of robotic cardiac operations, totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) with sternum-sparing approach has been proved as a safe and reproducible alternative for coronary anastomosis (5)(6)(7).…”

Isolated ostial stenosis (IOS) is a rare disease that encroaches on aorto-coronary junction of uncertain etiology. All distal coronary vessels present normally. IOS occurs predominantly in premenopausal young women with few risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. Here, we report a 40-year-old woman who had experienced crescendo angina for 4 months. Surgical revascularization was achieved by robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) with left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft. She resumed her daily tasks without difficulties 1 week after the operation. Postoperative computed tomographic angiography disclosed good opacification of the LITA graft and distal runoff. Robotic TECAB is a potentially feasible alternative for IOS patients, particularly in premenopausal young woman, with obvious benefits of cosmetic appearance and speedy recovery.

“…Twenty years later, following the improvements in myocardial protection, Hitchcock et al 3 reported promising initial results. The internal mammary artery (IMA), saphenous vein, fresh or glutaraldehyde‐treated pericardium, and pulmonary autografts have all been previously used as onlay patches for ostioplasty of the LMCA 4–12 …”

“…The internal mammary artery (IMA), saphenous vein, fresh or glutaraldehyde-treated pericardium, and pulmonary autografts have all been previously used as onlay patches for ostioplasty of the LMCA. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In our study, we investigated the possibility of using autologous aortic tissue as a patch, a procedure that has not been previously reported. We also described the short-term and follow-up outcomes of these patients.…”
