This highly illustrated atlas contains numerous exceptional operative images and surgical videos of off-pump and minimally invasive coronary revascularization procedures. The authors clearly and comprehensively detail both basic and advanced coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) techniques. Using operative images and ultra high-resolution video sequences, this book provides state-of-the-art educational material that coherently illustrates this progressive set of surgical techniques and best practices for them.
Minimally-Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
is the definitive guide to these procedures. This surgical manual follows a deliberately crafted didactic structure in which the technical steps and underlying concepts both play a central role. Each chapter builds logically from simple to more complex procedures, considering the individual characteristics and levels of difficulty of each patient, and illustrating these principles through clear, practice-oriented examples. Experienced surgeons will also find valuable tips, tricks and nuanced approaches to enhance their daily practice. Focusing on the fundamentals and advanced aspects of arterial revascularization, as well as off-pump and minimally invasive techniques, any cardiac surgeon or trainee in cardiac surgery will want to have this book in their collection.

Prof. Dr. Alexander Albert is currently the Director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Klinikum Dortmund, a maximum-care hospital in Germany, a position he has held since 2019. Prior to this, he spent ten years as managing senior surgeon and deputy director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Clinic Düsseldorf. Before that, he worked for fourteen years at the private Heart Centre in Lahr, southern Germany, complemented by professional visits to Basel, Switzerland (2002), and Leuven, Belgium (2004).
During his one-year fellowship with Paul Sergeant in Leuven, he adopted multi-arterial grafting and aortic no-touch techniques as standard procedures for all patients. He went on to implement multi-arterial OPCAB and, later, MICS-CABG at each of the institutions where he worked. Upon his return from Leuven, all surgeons and residents in this high volume clinic were trained accordingly, and the Baden Heart Centre in Lahr became one of the first clinic in Europe to perform all bypass procedures using the multi-arterial, no-touch approach. He has extensive experience in teaching CABG techniques and in standardising operative processes, and is committed to aligning clinical organisation with patient-centred care and measurable treatment quality. He leads the International Peer-to-Peer Training for Off-Pump and Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Dortmund, organised by Medtronic. All procedures illustrated in this surgical manual were performed by him.
Dr. Philipp Angleitner is a consultant at the Department of Cardiac and Thoracic Aortic Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. In 2023, he completed his habilitation in the field of heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. His major clinical and scientific interest lies in coronary revascularization, specifically off-pump and minimally-invasive coronary artery bypass grafting.
